Here it goes

Here goes my first attempt at the world-wide web. Why a blog? Once I create my web page, this will be one of the links - an informal way to find out what's going on in my life. Why did I call the blog Flutertongue? Actually Robert, my fiancee came up with that clever name. First you see the word flute which tells you that I'm a flutist. Want to know more about me? Read my profile. Then you see the word tongue which of course all musicians need to articulate sound on their instruments. Here's the neat part for you non-musicians: there is this musical technique called fluttertonguing whereby you roll your tongue like when say r in Spanish and then play a note at the same time. With Robert's suggestion, we modified the spelling and there you have it. The first flutterings of this flutist.
