With a full itinerary to pursue, I didn’t have much time at the Saturday morning River Market, but I looked for details which would convey its home-grown character. And so I came across Bill Worden playing a flute carved from a 1000 year old tree. Cut in 1860 and lying in the river for 150 years, its life and extended dormancy were all documented by the tree rings, according to Bill. The wood was as light as a feather. An enthusiastic teacher and flutist, Bill likes to teach elementary school children how to play a flute within 2 hours. On the other side of the market building were drummers Zinse Aggine and Rico Zaragoza who also come to play for pure enjoyment.
