 On October 29, 1963, I was born to a large family on a small farm in
Kentucky. In July of 1973 I had a recurring Night vision (a dream)
over and over. And in this dream I saw all new creation, and I, Doe
run Lake and my
Dad. And in this dream everything was new, things I have never seen
before on earth, it was great. I can still see it. In about May
1992, I was hiking around the same Lake that was in the night
vision; there is a fence around the drain with metal fence post. The
wind was blowing across the post and made a very beautiful sound. It
struck me deep in my heart, and I said to myself that I would like
to find an instrument that sounds like that. And in June 1992 I was
at an out door market and heard the same exact song the wind was
playing. So I made my way through the crowd, and found that it was a
flute. I was so drawn to it with amazement. I bought that flute. I
prayed a prayer to the creator and asked Him to give me the ability
to play this flute and He did. I showed it to my Dad who was a wood
craftsman and He started making flutes. At this time I started
helping my Dad sell his flutes and also teaching people how to play
them. In 1997 I started my first recording. This is my eight
recording - sixth CD. My Dad passed away in the fall of 2002 and the
very same Day He passed away I had this very same night vision
(dream) all over again. When I awoke I heard a inner voice tell me
that I am fulfilling this vision with my music. That vision has
come to pass. The same Lake and My Dad making Flutes and now I am
creating new music. That vision came back to me and now I am
fulfilling that vision.
