Wow, quite a unique response! It's a peppy little number, that's for sure. People see the Native Style Flute as sad and mournful, but it doesn't have to be. Thanks for listening, bigwes17.

Thanks souncloud--I always appreciate constructive comments.
After finding tracks I can play with my flutes (primary scale pentatonic minor, one octave range) I check the composer's page. Danielgtrman is a guitarist not a drummer--he even describes the drum as an "egg-timer"--djembe? Nonetheless, the track had rhythm and humor. As for the title, as you can see on my profile page I try to credit the original composer of tracks by keeping their titles so others can find them if they want. Although not technically "African," I had fun playing to the track and hope others enjoyed it too. Thanks for listening!

Thanks ribel, for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I cannot edit after I post a reply so I apologize to soundhound for spelling his name wrong in the reply above.

Thank you all for your comments! This piece got the most listens of any I've posted--I'm very happy. I choose collaborations on the basis of compatability with my instrument and genre so if you don't recognize someone's moniker, go check them out!

Can't reply to all, but thank you for listening! The word "chilled" is now officially part of my profile!

Thank you so much, EmmaCatan. The fine guitar/drum part was created by Danielgtrman. I've sent you an IM concerning the use of the mix on You Tube.

Thanks, you three, for your interest and positive comments. I believe danielgtrman's work is acoustic, and so is mine. I edit for consistency and timing but every note is live. Playing an instrument to solid tracks is an education in itself, and I depend on the generosity of the folks here on Looperman. What a great site this is!

Thanks, wasavjvcmn. I appreciate your comments. I think I'm going to upload this as a feature and see if the rest of Looperman likes it too. Sometimes the acoustic pieces get lost in the shuffle. TNX again.

Thanks, ShortBusBear. I value your comments highly.

Well, that's the first "chill" I've gotten! Thanks, zeerb!

Muy bien, gracias Orlando51!

danke, I appreciate your honesty and I agree. The Native American Style flute is not always perfectly tuned, and the pitch of the notes change with the speed of the airstream. Also, as mentioned below, I don't quite have the salsa beat mastered. It's not syncopation or swing, but a pulse all its own. That said, ScottB55's track allowed me to play in E minor pentatonic scale with a movement to the relative major, a combination not always easy to find. Thanks for responding!

Thanks, clindsay. The flute part is not quite salsa, though. I stuck to the regular drumbeat in the background as much as I could. I haven't quite mastered the salsa beat, but then, it's a challenge for many. Thanks for your comments!
