VISIT NicKnight
Okay, I'm a sucker for anything heartwarming. I love The Sound of Music, The King and I, Sabrina and all the classics - It Happened One Night, Gone With the Wind, Roman Holiday, An Affair to Remember, Singing in the Rain. They don't make 'em like that anymore! And I'll take anything by the Marx Brothers. But my all-time favorites are Grey Owl with Pierce Brosnan, Joe vs. the Volcano, While You Were Sleeping, The Secret Garden, and Fly Away Home, although I thoroughly enjoyed Serendipity, First Knight, The Diva, Galaxy Quest, Mom and Dad Save the World, The Saint, What Dreams May Come, Say Anything and Under the Tuscan Sun.
Television
Reality Shows - you either love em or you hate em...I confess - I love em! What a welcome break from all the dumb sitcoms and tedious -way too intense before bedtime-crime dramas. I'm also a big fan of American Idol. Sure they can be a bit exploitative and certainly voyeuristic but what a relief after back to back Reba episodes. Now that we've lost Frasier, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends, there's not a whole lot left to choose from. I do think King of Queens is pretty hilarious and I love reruns of Dharma and Greg and I Love Lucy. But seriously,I still think Starting Over was one of the best shows on TV! Extreme Makeover - Home Edition is also worthy of high praise. They actually help people.
Books
Okay, here goes...The Urantia Book , The Bridge of Stars, Radical Acceptance, Wisdom and Power, How Your Mind Can Keep You Well, The Infinite Way, Being and Vibration. I don't care much for fiction - I always think I could have written it better - but I really enjoyed The Chronicles of Narnia series and as a kid I loved A Wrinkle in Time, The Little Prince, Where the Wild Things Are and anything by Dr. Seuss.
Heroes
Jesus, Gandhi, Buddha, Dali Lama, Mother Teresa, Roy Masters, Iyanla, Cheif Seattle, Black Elk, Fools Crow, Sacajawea, Dad, Mom, Martin Luther King, Oprah, Maya Angelou, Bono, My brothers, my sister, Jeffrey Gaines, Kenny Loggins, firefighters, police officers, all survivors of war, disease, poverty, violence, disaster, abuse, addiction and abandonment and anyone who has the courage to stand up for what is right, to speak the truth in spite of threatening circumstances, to give where there is a need and to live the vision they have for themselves.

Who I'd like to meet: Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi, Dali Lama, Chief Seattle, St. Francis, Mother Teresa, Iyanla, Oprah, Maya Angelou, Walt Whitman Thoreau and... a film producer who loves my screenplay and wants to give me all the money I need to shoot it the way I want it...and I do and it ends up winning an academy award and everyone who sees it totally gets the message and becomes a better person ...and the good vibe is contagious and the world is filled with peace and beauty ...and there'd be no more war or crime or addiction or abuse and we can all sit around making music and laughing and eating ice cream and loving life!
LIZ, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE ADD. THE VERY BEST TO YOU MY FRIEND IN EVERYTHING THAT YOU SET OUT TO DO IS MY WISH. ROCK ON FOREVER NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO AND CHEERS, CHUCK C.
Hello friends and friends of friends, I'm writing this to let you know that in July I'm releasing a new album of solos played on my Native American flutes. One of the new songs "Unity" is posted on my site.
Also, I'm offering my award-winning album MoonRider free (+S&H) for a limited time. Click my album cover to visit and get the details. Oh, and please tell a friend. Thanks for the support!
This last year I was playing the Native American Love Flute on Valentines Day for a large group of people and I asked them how many people here didn't have a favorite song. No one in this vast diverse audience raised their hand, because everyone has had a special song that speaks to them at one time in their life. Then I said to them that we all have a song inside us and this is how we know who we are; the song tells us.
They call it the Native American Love Flute because it was used often by a brave to court a maiden. Music is the language of love. The emotion of the heart comes flowing out as a melody that the maiden understands is a song for her. It is as if the flute had some magical power. The legend of the sweet seductive sensual sound of the flute, mesmerizing the listener and casting a spell of love is an ancient one in all cultures.
It is the voice of the heart.

A young girl with eyes as big as saucers looked up at me and said “I got a Native American Flute for Christmas” as she held the beautiful hand crafted piece of wood that became a flute because it had been loved and I told her my story about the spirit in the flute.
The Spirit in the Flute
The Storyteller’s Flute
As a child my tiny fingers played the columns of air on the small wooden flutes they gave me in school. I was amazed as the sound drifted out lofting itself to the sky and filling the air with song. As I grew I played the silver flute and learned many different forms of music from many different peoples and countries. Later a Cherokee maiden Raven Sky Dancer gifted me a Native American Flute and my fingers played the shafts of air of an instrument thousands of years old. On this flute I played the songs of the whispering wind, the ceremonial song of love and the ancient melodies of our grandfathers.
This primal sound moves us from the roots of our genetic DNA. The melody of the mystic flute reaches out from someplace deep in our souls to touch the very essence of our spirit.
The flute makers created magic mystical flutes that sang to me, taught me songs and told me many wonderful secrets. The spirits in the flutes took me on hundreds of journeys. They showed me my heart and a way to touch the hearts of others. Come with me on a journey. Open your mind and your heart as the Creator breathes the song of life into you.
