Man If you're really Steve Kujala, I want you to know I'm a huge fan of your Pipe Dreams album. I went to a flautist convention with my girlfriend and her mom back in 1992 or 93 in Los Angeles, and you stole the show with your performance of "Turning las Tablas". Since then I've been a fan. Question: Did you do the flutes on Shakira's "Fijacion Oral". They're credited to a "Steve Kujai" on the sleeve. I figure that's too close to Kujala to be a coincidence more than a misspelling.

Hi Steve, How beautiful this is!! Stunning!!
Is she a student of yours? Sounds so.
This piece, if you don't mind my saying, really encompasses both your abilities as a composer as well as an instrumentalist. Reminds me of ALL of you, which wasn't always expressed by some New Age things you did, toward the "end" anyway. They were lovely, nonetheless. Hope you are happy and prosperous. Love, Pam C
