Recorded by Jan Rice (formely Pickard) at the Feathered Pipe Ranch, Helena Monana, RNAF (Renaissance of the Native American Flute Workshop) in 1998...how time flies
The song is about my flutiefriends, the influence of vegetarian food on your body (causing "vegetarian surprise" for people who are not used to it) and the workshop facilitators R. Carlos Nakai and Ken Light.

Lyrics

Got my suitcase packed, got myself ready for another flute trip
Got my fake sundance scars, and a brandnew medicine wheel kit

So here we are people, at the Feathered Pipe Ranch
I'm so glad to be here among my flutie friends

My heart soars like a hawk when I hear that soothing flute sounds
Good food, hell no..heathy food, clean air, good vibrations all around

You don't miss your water, until your well goes dry
You don't miss your flutie friends, until they say goodbye

Yes, I wonder good people, who's going 'awol' tonight (who's going to town?)
To get a fat juicy steak and a handful of greasy fries

Well I had my tofu this morning and I had my tofu at noon
If I get anymore tofu, I'm gonna get the runs real soon

Yes there's one thing sure and I don't mean maybe
This vegetarian surprise will make you run like crazy

Yonder comes Wayne McCleskey, he's just one of many returnees (here's Wayne with his long tall Texan walk)
They all came to see the man, the kingpin of the fluties

You know who I'm talking about, I'm talking about guru RC
If you wanna know about the flute people, he's the cat to see

But there's another flute guru and he's really out of sight (here he come now)
Together with RC, he made me see the light (hey Kenny)

You know those two flute gurus, they reside in the "guru shed" (Chateau my ass)
They both stay awake all night and say : noone 's gonna shortsheet our bed
