   About John De Boer


Bio John De Boer (Spirit of Thunder)

John De Boer has been a professional musician for over 20 years. A multi-talented composer and entertainer, John has been performing on stage and national television since he was four years old. He holds a degree in fine arts and is a certified music teacher. Still, John mostly plays by ear, believing that music theory and sheet music are a mere guide, a road map to assist a person in finding the music which resides inside of each of our souls.

Music is not just something that he does music is everything that he is.

John De Boer has played with or fronted for many well known artists such as Chubby Checker, The Crystals, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Henry Lee Summers, Johnny Paycheck, Lou Cristie, Billy Joe Royal, John Anderson, Merle Hagert, and many more.

Johns original flute songs are composed and inspired while playing in natural surroundings by waterfalls or a river. The Native American flute sings and echoes in the valleys while the birds whisper melodies in the wind as the magic flutes plays. The inclusion of these types of sonic backgrounds on his latest release, Flute Songs for a Blue Moon and In The Spirit(available exclusively through Oyate Music Group Recordings) is a testament to these inspirations, taking the listener on a journey of magical explorations with the Native American Flute.

John De Boers music is played from his heart, and when you hear his songs you can tell they were born from deep within his soul.

O-si-yo John,

I am honored by your friendship and will gladly accept your invitation to the Gathering.  I will bring my smoke and prayers for I see "smoke" pouring through one of your flutes.  You can't miss me, I'm the short one with the silver hair!  May your music rise up to greet our Grandfathers as they assemble there that day.  Aho.

Many Blessings,

I'd like to ask y'all to sign and circulate this petition. The Miwok Nation are about to be evicted from their homes and land. We need as many people on this as possible.

Thank you in advance.

"Stars? We're made of stars? Is Ziggy?" Ivy was star struck.

"Are you made of stars, Professor Angelicus?" asked Zak. "Is Quantia?"

"Absolutely. Nothing more and nothing less," the professor affirmed. "The iron in your blood, the calcium in your bones...everything. Even the tiniest drop of water shining on a spider's web is stardust and starlight. All living things are related. We're all brothers and sisters."

He pointed out toward the silent brilliance in space, his large eyes clear and luminescent. "We were all created in the intergalactic clouds that came from the first great breath of life. Some call it the Essence of God."

Ziggy wagged his tail and his eyes sparkled. He understood what the professor was saying...

Aloha John. We have some really lovely cardinals here at least 3 different types. Of course the males and females look different.

They all think Magic (my Cockatiel) is one of them. It doesn't help that he sounds like one of them and all the birds for that matter as I caught him wild in the rain forest up in Haiku. He is an unusual little companion still semi-feral. But he does sneak kisses now so we are finally getting somewhere.

We have beautiful birds on this island.

Blessings, Dancing Raven
