Healy Flute Company Newsletter "The Flutopia Press"

Submitted by Skip on Wed, 03/05/2008 - 12:35pm.

Hi Everybody!

Welcome to the first edition of the Healy Flute Company newsletter "The Flutopia Press"!

With the help of my new web master and designer Obi Wan Gamache (the Force is strong in him!) I am starting to make use of some of the cool cyber bells and whistles that are now available. It is especially helpful to me (neo-Luddite that I am) that the programs have been dumbed down so much in the past few years. Flutes and fifes I get, computers, not so much!!!
