his name is Charles Littleleaf and is a flute player and maker. enjoy!
He makes flutes!? Awesome! I want to meet him and learn how!!
Nice hair too!
Great hair, great name, and great occupation. I'd love to be able to play a flute, much less make one. But what's coolest about this picture is the sense of timelessness in it: were the picture in black and white, he might as well have been living a century ago.
Thanks for sharing the pic.
Peace
Man he looks so good... I wonder if he can *really* play flutes... or trumpets...
I seen a guy at a church (chinese) who plays those ceramic flute that looks like a really fat cigar with things sticking out of it... i am not sure whats it called. It really makes you look and sound indian when a long haired chinese plays it.
I've heard the name before but never heard him play. I've got quite a few CDs by R. Carlos Nakai, another great flutist. The sound of the Indian flute is sooooooo cool! I've got 4 flutes I've bought over the last 8-9 years. Very neat instrument!

Whoa, Brian, man thank you for posting the picture of Charles Littleleaf. Where was the photo taken? I have an especial affinity with First Nation peoples. Right here in my suburban neighborhood of Underhill's Crossing, there was a settlement of Northeast Woodland Indians, whose name was Aquewung, meaning High Bluffs. They lived here, peacefully, for ONE THOUSAND YEARS. Then the settlers came.
Allegedly the flute is the second musical instrument besides the drum. There's a lot of spiritual power in it. That and the voice. I my(s)elf have a three octave range, quite unusual for a man. Robert Mirabal and the Rare Tribal Mob are other American Indian artists you should try to track down. Thank you SO MUCH for the post and the pic, Brian! Charles Littleleaf is awesome!
Best in longhaired camaraderie,

Wow, his hair looks PERFECT!!!
He must take really good care of it. Do you have links to any of his music?
Thanks for sharing
