The flute is a musical instrument of the woodwind family. Unlike other woodwind instruments, a flute is a reedless wind instrument that produces its sound from the flow of air against an edge. A musician who plays the flute can be referred to as a flute player, a flautist, or a flutist. The flute has been dated to prehistoric times. It has appeared in different forms and locations around the world. A three-holed flute made from a mammoth tusk (from the Geißenklösterle cave in the German Swabian Alb and dated to 30,000 to 37,000 years ago[1]) was discovered in 2004, and two flutes made from swans' bones excavated a decade earlier (from the same cave in Germany, dated to circa 36,000 years ago) are among the oldest known musical instruments. A fragment of the femur of a juvenile cave bear, with two to four holes, found at Divje Babe in Slovenia and dated to about 43,100 years ago, may also be an early flute.[2][3] The Bible, in Genesis 421, cites Jubal as being the "father of all those who play the ugab and the kinnor". The former Hebrew term refers to some wind instrument, or wind instruments in general, the latter to a stringed instrument, or stringed instruments in general. As such, Jubal is traditionally regarded as the inventor of the flute (a word used in some translations of this biblical passage). Some early flutes were made out of tibias (shin bones). Playable 9000-year-old Gudi (literally, "bone flute"), made from the wing bones of red-crowned cranes, with five to eight holes each, were excavated from a tomb in Jiahu[4] in the Central Chinese province of Henan.[5] The earliest extant transverse flute is a chi (?) flute discovered in the Tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng at the Suizhou site, Hubei province, China. It dates from 433 BC, of the later Zhou Dynasty. It is fashioned of lacquered bamboo with closed ends and has five stops that are at the flute's side instead of the top. Chi flutes are mentioned in Shi Jing, compiled and edited by Confucius.

4. Web analytics - the communication component
July 30, 2008
Web analytics in a vacuum is not web analyticsAfter roughly my millionth viewing of Caddyshack recently, it dawned on me that Ty Webb was really onto something when he said, "A flute with no holes is not a flute, and a doughnut with no holes is a danish." Particularly in the world of Internet marketing, misnomers are ubiquitous. I think the real crime here, however, is when someone confuses data presentation with web analytics.From our friends at Dictionary.com we will find that the term "analytic" means:1. pertaining to or proceeding by analysis.2. skilled in or habitually using analysis.No...

5. Music for Meditation, Reflection or Therapy, Day or Night: An Interview with the NightDancers
July 23, 2008
When you ask someone why he or she likes a band, performer or style of music, the usual response is either, "they're awesome," “they rock" or "it's fun stuff." People tend to say that music is simply for entertainment. And as for musicians, the reason they play music either involves "the call" to do so or the ego-driven need to stand in front of a crowd. But why do we even have music? Is it, as Shakespeare stated, "to soothe the savage beast"? It's not like it's life or death. Or is it? For Gera Clark and John Sarantos, who perform on Native American flutes as the NightDancers, music is... (read more)

6. Learn Guitar TAB - Does It Help You Teach Yourself Guitar?
May 20, 2008
TAB, which is short for tablature, is a good way for many people to learn to play the guitar.
