The Alaska Flute Circle had a live performance in Anchorage and I played my original song Rain Dance. This version of my song creates a little story...if you can imagine, how a predator bird, the Laughing Kookaburra and a scavenger bird, the Sea Gull with a haunting cry went from being enemies to becoming friends. Together they convinced an old Shaman to create a Rain Dance song to save the people and animals from drought and starvation. The Shaman then plays the song on his ancient drone flute at the end of which culminates in a drenching rain bringing new life and fertility to all.
In the song I play a Native American drone flute, (key A), an eagle wing bone whistle replica, lightning box and a rain stick. We played at the Title Wave book store during Anchorage Folk Festival week. The gull photo is my own taken at Potter Marsh in Anchorage and the Kookaburra photo is from Wikipedia.org and was certified as free for public domain use for any purpose.
Take care, hope you enjoy this live version.
