These are selected from the several gazillion music links on my browser!

Jim Walker-- my teacher and flutist extraordinaire!
The National Flute Association-- hosts of The Big Convention

And, if you've made it this far, here's my first real review, though it really doesn't say very much at all! You have to go about halfway down the page to find it, or search for "sisk" with your browser.
