Just returned from the Lakeside Music & Arts Festival in Decatur. The venue was noisy with sounds of speeding motorboats, popping balloons (from a balloon artist), and competing acts–and a bit too windy for mics and flutes. But the weather was otherwise nearly perfect–especially after yesterday’s cancellation due to rain–and I had a blast. Below is a short video shot by my 6-year-old son Ingmar Berg … err … Nate Van Heuklom entitled My Dad–The World’s Greatest Flute Player. It’s destined to become a classic, in my household at least. Acknowledgments are due also to Mary Youngblood for “Beneath the Raven Moon,” played by me on an old-growth redwood Fm by J.P. Gomez of Heartsong Flutes. “Who Am I?” is played on a western red cedar Em by Colyn Petersen of Woodland Voices. “Amazing Grace” and “Simple Gifts” are played on a western red cedar Gm by Colyn Petersen.
