Special thanks to Troy de Roche for the flute music and Jim Summey for drums and percussion. Troy is a Native American flute maker who resides in Hawaii. He grew up on the Blackfeet Reservation in Heart Butte, Montana and is an enrolled member of that Nation. Troy De Roche was given the name Shu'k Sha'mii which means Good Medicine. This is a powerful name that has not been given since the time of Troy's Great Grandmother.

Music was an important part of his life from his early childhood when he listened to his Grandparents play fiddle and mandolin every morning before breakfast. Surrounded by family artisans he was instilled with a respect for the traditions of his people and began to hand craft flutes. Original compositions were the next step in his career. He has gained worldwide recognition for the quality craftsmanship and clear tones of his instruments that are individually created without the use of a lathe or similar machinery in keeping with the old ways.
