This is a beautiful video of images from Badlands National Park in South Dakota. My friend, Rick Braveheart, is Artist In Residence at the park and is an amazing photographer. My song 'In The Stone Circle' is the soundtrack to the video. I am so fortunate to have talented friends like Rick! I hope you like it! RR

Badger Warrior - Ronald Roybal - Native American Flute Music
'Badger Warrior' is a flute and hand drum song that I first released on 'Eagle's Journey Into Dawn'. Not many flutists play flute and hand drum songs. I am very fortunate to have been exposed to so many good drummers and singers over the years who helped me to learn how to bring good songs into the world! RR

Kenny G Circular On Practice And The Music Biz
Kenny G talks about practice and the music business. A professional musician has to love to practice. I know I do! It's one of my favorite things to do and I look forward to it. I have several practice sessions a day of at least an hour in length. I practice and study at least three to four hours a day. My time is split between the flute and the guitar as well as piano and traditional style singing. Now you know where the time goes! RR

Fantasy General "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence."
The name of the song is "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence." It's an ancient (400 A.D.) Christian hymn arranged for English to a medieval French tune. I've been studying a guitar arrangement for this song this morning. I think I will really enjoy learning this one. I happened on this recording from an old video game called 'Fantasy General'. I actually enjoy some video game soundtracks! RR
