Steve Berman is an accomplished musician whose heart has been drawn to the simple, organic sounds of an elderberry flute. In this presentation at the Talent Historical Society, Berman describes the Native American traditions that are told about the flute, tells how a four-hole flute is made and plays music familiar to the native tribes of Northern California, Southern Oregon and South America. In one piece, Carol Berman accompanies Steve with a drum.
