© 2012 Ugly Boy Flutes by Bob Child Made with Xara “After Wounded Knee”    (from “Kiwani” CD) One of my ‘keeper’ flutes is a 5-hole, but with the 3rd hole from the bottom not drilled, making it a Mode 4.  I discovered early on this early flute of mine lilted to the eerie high note with almost too much ease...given I like creating unique sounds with this amazing instrument, I wrote this song wondering what it would have been like to be hovering above this horrific scene the day after.
