* Sky has joined #michaelmosaics
SANGELFIVE: arvel how did you find out your native back ground?
Arvel: Hi, Chuck - yes, as a matter of fact, I just debuted, my own Tribal Music Suite with the Symphony of the Canyons. I should have some video of the concert of May 8th soon. You can see the Rochester Chamber Orchestra on YouTube. I had alot of my Animal Totems music transcribed, as well. So it's really cool, now.
Butch: Arvel, how is the sage crop this year?
ohszq: You are planning (I hope) to come back to Florida?
LotusLadyHawk: Please feel free to just type in your questions, comments, etc to Arvel tonight ... we're going unmoderated this evening. :-)
Arvel: Butch, we haven't seen alot of it, believe it or not. I do have a bag for you though, so will get it sent this week. Suzanne - yes, but not sure of dates, yet. Florida's another of those magical states that we'd love to build more on.
* katielinKY has joined #michaelmosaics
Arvel: Sangelfive - I always knew I was Paiute, but my mom was in denial (although looks-wise, it was real obvious).
katielinKY: HI everynone good evening
ohszq: And we will do all we can to help and promote you and your music!
Butch: Thank you buddy, I know you will always come through one way or another.
Badger65: hello katie
* red14 has joined #michaelmosaics
Arvel: Hi, Katie! How are you doing??? We're in Colorado and you're out there, now, right? Kimberly just told me.
SANGELFIVE: i have for years been trying to get answers from my family
LotusLadyHawk: Hi there KatielinKY! Welcome to the chat tonight!
southernbelle1 Arvel do you know when your next album will be in production?
Arvel: Thank you, Suzanne - we're take all the help we can get.
LotusLadyHawk: Hey Red, welcome to you as well this evening.
katielinKY: Yes Arvel, I am in Kentucky now. ty Lotus
SANGELFIVE: but it is like a secret
Arvel: Hi, Southernbelle - I'm in pre-production on the next album meaning, I'm looking for songs and writing some new music, but I just don't know yet.
LotusLadyHawk: The chat is unmoderatored tonight, so you can just post your questions as you wish, and Kim will help Arvel keep track of them.
katielinKY: I know
southernbelle1: will it be more like the animal totems or ride indian ride?
Arvel: I'm also looking into some collaborations with Gabriel Ayala, Kevin Locke, and a Canadian David Maracle, but we're just talking and figuring it all out. We'll see. They're great musicians and I would be honored to record with any of them.
katielinKY: awesome Arvel
Sky: Will you make stone mountain this year:)
chuck46: I am American of mixed European descent, but I feel that I have a lot to learn from Native America.
ohszq: Can we look forward to a CD of Rochester?
Arvel: Southernbelle - that's a good question, some will probably depend on who I record with, so, it could be anything from latin samba to traditional flute music. You just never know about me, right?
katielinKY: I'll be at the Denver Indian Market, to see you guys Arvel in January
Arvel: Sky - yes, I'm booked in November at Stone Mountain. CANNOT WAIT! Georgia is a GREAT state, too.
Butch: That would be wonderful playing with Gabriel Ayala, he is a wonderful musician.
southernbelle1: I am in GA
Kathryn41: cool, Arvel! I'm close to Stone Mountain too
Arvel: Chuck - don't we all - and the good thing is we can focus on and honor all of our heritage as we learn more.
chuck46: I am in TN
southernbelle1: I will have to attend then
Badger65: any kind of music you play is awesome Arvel
Prudy1954: I look forward to seeing you in Loudenvill in July Right?
Arvel: Suzanne - maybe a video, but prob not a CD, union issues may prevent it.
Arvel: See you January, Katie
Arvel: Butch, yes, he's awesome and a really nice guy, too.
katielinKY: I wish I could find out about my Cherokee heritage, but the Bible where the info was is lost
LotusLadyHawk: Hi there Prudy, didn't see you come in ... welcome to the chat tonight. :-)
Arvel: Oh, Chuck, are you part Cherokee?
katielinKY: Yep, Arvel
ohszq: Can't wait! It was amazing to hear your music translating to the symphany.
* bnuffer has joined #michaelmosaics
Arvel: Yes, Southern bell, come on down. It'll be a festival and a Saturday night concert. Check out my website. www.arvelbird.com
SANGELFIVE: arvel do you know anything about white doves back ground that live with elvis presley family
Arvel: Katie - there is a friend of ours in Knoxville who works on cherokee Geneaology and we can sure turn you on to her.
Badger65: Kim, will you please remind me of the Oct. show in TX so I don't miss ya'll? Pretty please
LotusLadyHawk: Welcome, bnuffer, to the chat this evening.
chuck46: Focus on and honor our heritage... yes. I don't reckon that I have any native ancestry... my wife believes that she is strong with Cherokee.
LotusLadyHawk: Just feel free to jump right in there and ask ARVEL your questions.
Chat is not moderated tonight. ;-)
katielinKY: oh wow, can you Arvel? I would like that
Arvel: Sangelfive - white doves background - no, don't know anything about that.
SANGELFIVE: ok thanks
kimberly: Katie Are you on the email list?
katielinKY: yes, Kim
Arvel: Katie - email kimberly and she'll send you her info.
LotusLadyHawk: How is the video coming along for Ride Indian Ride, Arvel?
katielinKY: Ok Arvel
Arvel: LadyHawk - we have footage to send you and will send it this week. Kimberly promises. Chuck - we're all mutts, anyway.
LotusLadyHawk: GREAT, can't wait! :-) Fun, fun, fun! :-)
Sky: Do you recommend any softwear for recording of my own flute music? Editing also..
Arvel: Everyone, in case you didn't know, we're working on several videos from Ride Indian Ride CD. Sorry for the delay, but will get those rollin' now that we're a little more stationary in Denver for a few weeks!
LotusLadyHawk: When are you heading back to Arizona again? And how long will you be there?
Arvel: Sky - I use Cubase 5 and that's what I highly recommend.
southernbelle1: chuck I am part cherokee and decendents came from north carolina too, but all the english, scottish and german show in me!!lol.
LotusLadyHawk: In Arizona, I mean?
SANGELFIVE: do you think native familys will every come back together so that they have pure natuve blood
chuck46: That's right, Arvel... we're all mutts. :)
Arvel: LadyHawk - nothing for AZ for a while, probably December time frame. But we'll be in NM in August. I'm going on memory, so if anybody has my schedule up on their computer, please correct me.
Prudy1954: Who is your favorite muscian besides yourself
southernbelle1: so chuck i am a bigger mutt!!
LotusLadyHawk: Great question Prudy! ;-)
Arvel: Sangelfive - I don't see that happening. We are just all mutts and pretty soon we'll be the "Mutt" race!
katielinKY: lol
Prudy1954: All one race
katielinKY: I sent the email Kim
SANGELFIVE: i think it happening
LotusLadyHawk: Ah, okay, thanks Arvel.
SANGELFIVE: don't know why but i think it is already happen
bnuffer: Arvel with the beautiful music and story behind Journey of a Paiute, do you think it will ever be put on screen as a documentary or movie?
Arvel: Prudy - One that pops up frequently is Jean Luc Ponty, Yanni (don't laugh, he's a GREAT musician), some of the older guys include Sugarcane Harris, Dave Swarbrick (Fairport Convention).
SANGELFIVE: because of the half breeds
Butch: Arvel, Please no squirrel jokes please!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arvel: Sangelfive - that we're already mutts?
SANGELFIVE: lolll
Arvel: Bnuffer - we are working towards that. We have a choreographer that we met in Rochester who is eager to do that part and a screenwriter in OK, so it's probably a ways off, but we're moving forward.
Arvel: Sangelfive - well, most people are less than half of anything anymore.
bnuffer: awesome, I have a brother in law that is a director if you need one :-)
ohszq: It's sad in a way because then everything will be so beige- and I like color-as long as we don't forget our culture - I'm european like chuck, but my people were tribal cultures and horse cultures (gyspies and Huns) so maybe that's where my connection lies!
Arvel: Have I missed anyone's questions or not answered?
chuck46: Arvel, a good friend of mine (Blackfeet/German) asked me to orchestrate some of his music for an upcoming performance with the Helena Symphony. I'm going to give it a try, but I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge. Any advice? Do you know anybody that can help me? (I dig Yanni, also :) )
LotusLadyHawk: That would be very cool Arvel, the film ... I hope it happens in the future.
Arvel: Chuck - Yes, Yoham Ortiz and Jeff Brown are two that I used. Email me offline for their contact info.
katielinKY: I'd sure like to see that film too
anni: I'm wondering if you have a site that shows all you're upcoming gigs? I hope to be in Tennessee and on up to Michigan in September
LotusLadyHawk: ;-) Katie
Arvel: Lady hawk - we also have a Native opera singer who want to write her own part in this performance. She used to sing with Pavarotti and sang at the Met Opera for years!
southernbelle1: do you get some of your ideas from alot of the different places you travel also?
chuck46: Thanks so much, Arvel.
Arvel: Anni - yes, it's http://arvelbird.com/tour/
LotusLadyHawk: OMG, that's totally awesome Arvel!

katielinKY: wow cool Arvel

bnuffer: My name is Bonnie, I made a joke about you not playing Rockness for me :-)
Arvel: Thanks, Butch, yeah, it was a wild ride. But we are fine. The tire actually exploded and blew the bumper off!
Arvel: Lynda - love back at ya, girl. See you this weekend?
LotusLadyHawk: Interesting, I'll have to listen to that track again. Holy cow! (about the bumper blowing off! :-)
Arvel: Oh, yeah, Bonnie - I'm sorry, but if you remind me, I'll play it next year. And you can see the chamber performance on Youtube.
katielinKY: we have a really nice auditorium here in Franklin, KY Arvel, if I talk to some local people that run the Auditorium about you, If I ask them to get you to come here, think you would come? Asleep At The Wheel did a show there, it is a nice one
bnuffer: I will keep an eye on your schedule and next time you are in Utah I will drop in.
Arvel: Katie - of course, I would. i have a great band out of Nashville, so it'd be easy. I'll be in E. TN in November (not on the calendar, yet), but if you give us a contact person, we'll follow up!
katielinKY: Ok, I will Arvel

* Badger65 Quit
LotusLadyHawk: I wanna' come back in my next life as one of those kids. :-)
katielinKY: lol
Anita06: Hi Arvel Have you ever thought of letting high school bands use your music for concerts and competitions
Arvel: Ladyhawk - Kimberly wants to come back as one of our Shih Tzus. I want to come back as a red tailed hawk.
LotusLadyHawk: LOL .. quite a re-arrangement there, for sure! :-)
katielinKY: oooh cool Arvel
Prudy1954: Is the hawk in your totem?
southernbelle1: Funny i had a lot of questions to ask you but as soon as i got on here my mind went blank!!:)
LotusLadyHawk: speaking of "arrangements" ... hahaaa ...
chuck46: Arvel, there are myriad native cultures... do you find a common thread that runs through them?
* bnuffer Quit
Arvel: Anita - No, but I certainly would if they requested. I'm not sure how that would work, but I'm always open. I would like to write for the air force band, though!
LotusLadyHawk: Great question Chuck.
katielinKY: they are beautiful birds, have seen real red tail hawks, many times in Colorado
Arvel: Prudy - it's not one of my 9 totems, but it's what I'm aspiring to. If you want to know more about the totems, ask LadyHawk. What is the link, Ladyhawk?
Arvel: Chuck - yes, the arts, in my case, specifically music. You don't need words.
LotusLadyHawk: the link is: http://www.totemtalk.ning.com
Arvel: Southern bell - well, take your time, and just shout own when you're ready! LOL! Thank you, LadyHawk
LotusLadyHawk: Actually, you do have Red-tailed Hawk in one of your positions Arvel ... forget which one at the moment though, sorry. (Post chat note: it's in your MENTOR position. :-)
Arvel: I have learned so much from my sessions with LadyHawk and use
what I have learned in my shows and in my personal life.
katielinKY: cool
LotusLadyHawk: Thanks very kind of you Arvel.
katielinKY: I know the Horse and Owl are 2 of mine, have not found any others yet
LotusLadyHawk: You are a very quick study and a great student too. :-)
Arvel: It's true, LadyHawk, and I'm looking forward to the next session. I'm sure we can do at least another one this week?
SANGELFIVE: my son is a derect sendent of l
* chuck4 has joined #michaelmosaics
LotusLadyHawk: Great, yes, we will, and it's very timely too.
anni: I want to echo Arvel - I have also learned so much in LadyHawk courses.
LotusLadyHawk: Have some time available this week as well. So we'll do it! :-)
SANGELFIVE: sorry for spelling
Arvel: I'm highly motivated to learn about the animals. The Red Tail Hawk is my mentor in the West and the West represents what I have accumulated in this life so far!
chuck4: My screen went blank... chuck46 is now chuck4...
katielinKY: aw, wb chuck
Arvel: Cool, Anni - Isn't it fun? And REALLY helpful!
LotusLadyHawk: Ah, thanks Anni. It's really been fun working with you and your animal totems as well.
Arvel: Great, Ladyhawk, will touch base after chat.
Prudy1954: Thank you LadyHawk for the info. Arvel where did you meet Kim
Arvel: Spelling is overrated.
SANGELFIVE: if someone dreams about a buffle man and eagles being awake what does that mean
LotusLadyHawk: Arvel, you have a great grasp on the animals, look at the music you make from their energy!
anni: just saying "yes" doesn't quite say it - with her help a whole area of my life is opening up.
LotusLadyHawk: An amazing connection you have, so natural, easy and free, which is the best kind of connection to have! ;-)
ohszq: I have learned so much about animal totems but still have a thousand times that to learn for my creative journey!
LotusLadyHawk: The structure is good and helpful to know though too. How each animal totem fits into the bigger picture of our lives. There is an underlying structure that everyone can use to grasp their meaning and importance more deeply. What's great about working with the animals is that they are usually very easy to connect with for most people, even before other humans.
Arvel: Prudy - I was doing a duo with Jeff Dayton in Phoenix, Arizona about 21 years ago and this gorgeous redhead was dancing with a bunch of her friends. It was country dancing (not pole dancing). She asked me to dance during a break because I was too shy. But her Uncle was a fiddle champion and I think that was the first connection.
chuck4: I think the strongest lesson that I have learned in my conversations with folks who know native ways is that we are all related... not just people, but all living beings... we are all family.
* chuck46 Quit
katielinKY: that is very true, chuck
LotusLadyHawk: yes, I agree with you chuck.
anni: Chuck - yes!
ohszq: I agree too!
Arvel: chuck -yes, that's exactly right and that's why it's so important to respect everything and everyone.
Prudy1954: We are all energy, seeking the truth, love, light
* hawkbell44 Quit
LotusLadyHawk: Sometimes it can be difficult to connect with people, but the animals are always willing partners in establishing connections with us.
Arvel: Prudy - Yes, we are all vibration and each one of us is actually our own expression. I've heard it said that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and that is what I try to remember daily. Bugs are spiritual beings having a bug experience . . . etc.
katielinKY: well I look for 2 of them love escapes me, and am ok with it have such good friends in my life
Arvel: They're also less threatening on many levels, right, Lady Hawk?
LotusLadyHawk: They are eager to have their "connections" with us recognized, honored and validated. Absolutely Arvel, yes.
SANGELFIVE: loll
Arvel: So, animals are much like we are, we all want to be valued.
southernbelle1: out of all types of music there is which is your favorite that you listen to in your spare time when you are not focused on yours
LotusLadyHawk: LOL Prudy.
chuck4: I hear what you're all saying that much can be learned from the animals... the awareness of the animals' presence before humans and that they maintain a collected wisdom is a thought unique to native cultures, and very profound...
LotusLadyHawk: How right you are. :-)
SANGELFIVE: i am a spirit being having a human experience lollllllll
katielinKY: lol
Prudy1954: Unconditional Love I believe the animals give and want
Arvel: Southernbelle - right now I'm listening to Gabriel Ayala's CDs and Bird Songs, and meditation music.
katielinKY: aren't we all
LotusLadyHawk: I think the single most unifying force is working with the Animals.
Arvel: Chuck - you are right on the money with that one.
ohszq: I don't know about any one else-but I have two dogs and I would rather spend time and connect with them than some people I know! LOL!
Arvel: Sangelfive, right on, sista!
LotusLadyHawk: Nearly everyone can relate to animals, beyond all the rest of their belief systems.
katielinKY: I hear that ob
anni: ohszq - I agree I love dogs - and any animal
SANGELFIVE: thanks arvel i will get my wigs back
Arvel: Suzanne - well, that is a problem that Kim and I have because we absolutely love them and other than the occasional feeding and walking and tummy rubs, they don't ask for much! LOL
SANGELFIVE: thanks bro
Arvel: Animals seem to transcend most religions.
LotusLadyHawk: Arvel is one of the very few, if not the ONLY, musicians I've ever seen dedicate so much of his time, energy and attention to the Animal Totems in his music. And he expresses them so beautifully and ACCURATELY too!
katielinKY: True
Arvel: And their meanings and their spiritual wisdom don't get mucked up with all the human "crap".
ohszq: They are the epitome of unconditional love!
Arvel: Aw, Ladyhawk, go on, you're embarrassing me.
LotusLadyHawk: The energy and the "energy-in-motion" is just perfect for each one.
Arvel: No, really, go on, don't stop! LOL
LotusLadyHawk: LOL .. It's really TRUE! ;-)
SANGELFIVE: lolllllll ok bro
Prudy1954: Word Girl
katielinKY: hahahaha
Prudy1954: With such Love
chuck4: It's just that a few simple thoughts can change your perceptions, which in turn change your choices, which then change your life.
katielinKY: right, chuck
LotusLadyHawk: It's okay, you can blush Arvel ... really, I have been so amazed at how the music in each of your songs so EXACTLY matches their natural gaits, energy and movements in the wild. :-)
Prudy1954: Ditto
southernbelle1: i have three kids but my other kids is a shih tzu mojo and chihuaua daisy..
Arvel: Chuck, that's it exactly. The only way to change your life is to change your choices. Wayne Dyer said it perfectly, but the quote escapes, I'll remember it in a minute.
SANGELFIVE: it is like some people what you to eat vegables and native people only ate meat and fruit
Arvel: Lady Hawk, well you would know since you put the songs to video so perfectly.
LotusLadyHawk: It's just amazing to me, but you have truly nailed them all spot on the money. :-) Thank you, Arvel, for your kind comment too.
chuck4: Change is scary.
Arvel: Mojo and Daisy - I hope they are spoiled rotten.
LotusLadyHawk: Well, that was part of HOW I discovered that they fit so perfectly. haa.
southernbelle1: they are
Arvel: Change is scary if you only give your attention to what is. If you stay focused on what you want in the future, the change should come naturally and easily.
LotusLadyHawk: You know my vote is for another Animal Totem CD, of course. :-)
{Post chat note: I really love what you said above Arvel, and am consciously applying to my own life right now. You just never know how something you say might affect another person's life. :-) Thanks for sharing that insight ... it carries weight when it comes through from the voice of experience. :-)]
katielinKY: lol
LotusLadyHawk: Very interesting Arvel, and very true too.
Arvel: Well, AT3 is on the radar screen. We are still asking folks for suggestions for the animals. We've got raccoon, monkey, lizard, and some other interesting ones. More suggestions, anyone?
SANGELFIVE: did any one watch avatar
LotusLadyHawk: I like ALL of the ABOVE.
ohszq: You are a musical Dr.Doolittle! And you do it so well! So I'm for another Animal Totems!
LotusLadyHawk: How about an aussie animal ... for musical variation?
Arvel: Suzanne - OMG - don't let my publicist see that! She'll take it and run.
chuck4: My wife is calling... this hour has flown by. Thank you all so much. And thank you, Arvel, walking the walk and putting it to music. Intil next time, much peace to you all.
LotusLadyHawk: LOL, a musical Dr. Doolittle, I love it, except that he does A LOT! :-)
chuck4: Until
Arvel: Sangelfive - Yes, I watch it in 3D and at home. We had to buy it. It was pretty powerful and of course, it was fun to watch.
Arvel: Bye Chuck! Thanks for coming.
ohszq: Blessings!!!!

Arvel: Sangelfive - if you hate living like that, then you're the only one who can change it.
LotusLadyHawk: Another good one would be Grouse, Arvel. You also have it on your male side.
Arvel: Tiger -- Yeah! Big Cat!
LotusLadyHawk: :-D yes, very big cat. :-)
Arvel: That's a great idea, LadyHawk, I like Grouse, too.
