PASSION FLUTE
As I lay upon the beach in beautiful Tobago,lulled by waves,  cooled by tradewinds,awed by pastels and choruses of cochrico birds, the birth of this work,"PASSION FLUTE",was born. This Island became the haven for me as Artist and Enreprenuer. Long disenchanted, as many recording artists, with "creative accounting" and forced commercial "birth" of my songs, I resolved to make a positive change in the direction of my musical career.!As I surveyed the sky, the vastnes of it reminded me of my home state of Texas(land of endless possibilities). I smiled as I thought of how fortunate I was; to believe in the dream  of playing my flute in High School and College,meeting Dizzy Gillespie,later travelling to New York to record my first record(first female on Blue Note), and recording with Stevie Wonder and Lee Morgan to now actually having the resolve and resources  to launch my own label,PARADISE SOUNDS RECORDS.I lingered on the beach and fell asleep. The aroma od curry and a sudden love sparring between two birds awakeked me.Voila! "PASSION FLUTE" would be my first and favorite recording. From the first track,"Steppin Out", to the last track "Rainbows", my friends Gwen Guthrie,Tommy James and Ralph MacDonald would make this my definitive work.Also, I I was moved  by the fact  that while I was still touring, I felt that I needed to have the ability to control what I created, and share in the commerce derived from my music.But most importantly, I wanted my fans to know that, no matter whatever else I'd do, my flute would always be my passion, my "PASSION FLUTE".So think of my flute and my favorite drink, passion fruit. I've always loved words,particularly alliteration and marketing. Now Music and technology;creating even playing fields for artists,and a global venue for all of those who just love the music! Enjoy the grooves,and spread the love.Drop me a line at bobbihumphrey@yahoo.com.
