Gitchi Manitou, or the “Great Spirit,” was the name numerous Native American Indian tribes called their God.

In the Community Chorus concert on Sunday, Dec. 11. Bob Child will solo on American Native flute with the chorus singing “‘Twas In The Moon of Wintertime,” based on a Huron Carol and arranged by Chorus director Mark Schweizer.
Child is a local favorite, who has graced many stages in our community with his teachings on the making and playing of a most beautiful wood handiwork. Leaving a hectic lifestyle on TV appearances including local and national weather stations, he is now directing his vocational efforts to the making of flutes/pipes and providing music and poetry to inspire.
See Bob Child and the chorus and other international touches to their concert on Sunday, Dec. 11, 3 p.m., at Polk County High School.
