Extraordinary Ordinary People

I met Kyle Patrick and his girlfriend Jaydee, who live in Vancouver Island, while each of us were visiting Maui. Amongst other interests, Kyle plays the Mayan Temple Flute which is also sometimes referred to as a "double harmony, double melody, Flute." His is an absolutely beautiful flute made out of cedar and you can hear him play it near the beginning of our conversation. I was particularly interested in his story because only recently I discovered and fell in love with the Bansuri Flute, which is made out of bamboo and is particularly popular in Indian Raga music. Kyle talks about how the Mayan Temple Flute has changed his life, in terms of how the sounds can change consciousness. He also ties in the effects of breath work. Here is my conversation with Kyle Patrick.

I met Joey Scalgione, on a recent month-long trip to Maui, when I discovered his amazing and elaborate tie dye clothing store in the small town of Paia. I also discovered that, every Friday night, Joey produces a "live" concert featuring various artists and bands on the island. The shocker was how much the funk/rock band I saw, Three To 5, blew me away! I ended up meeting Joey and hearing just a piece of his life story was yet another shocker! From being born deaf to his early involvement with music to his journey with the Grateful Dead and Ken Kesey and to his tie dye clothing store in Maui called Jammin' On Maui, we've just touched the surface… https://www.instagram.com/jamminonmaui/ https://aquadelics.com/

We're talking about today's guest, Michelle Trent, whom I met when I needed to hire a scuba diving guide during a recent trip in Maui. Soon after meeting, I knew I had to have Michelle on the show. Hers is a real inspiring story!

When we think about our favorite songs, we tend to think of the artist who sings them. What we don't think about, however, is the amount of work and people that went into bringing it to life.
