The Beltrami flute (1823) was the first indigenous wooden flute of its kind collected in the US. The melody was the first to come out of this replica made

This is another AI movie done with Gemini by Veo. The cowboy tune is played on a Native American Style Flute. The scenes are in Lusk, Wyoming.

I’m posting a new version of “Safari” again with Native American Style Flute using Google’s new animation AI. The photos were originally stills, made into 9 second movies, spliced together in iMovie and a flute track added. Much improved!

I have a long quena-like flute of his. Good ol’ Erik the Flutemaker!

Paying people, no matter what side of the political spectrum, to have children is wrong.
It’s worse. The Nazi party nationalized German industry without taking over the day-by-day management, with full cooperation. Except for prison labor, of course.
The rule’s name lends itself to a number of bird-related puns….There is the “Byrd bath,” when… Ms. MacDonough scrubs and analyzes [the provisions] to make a judgment.
