2012 - Best Easy Listening Song and Best Easy Listening Recording Artist for the 2013 Indie Channel Music Awards held in Los Angeles. Then winning on all accounts.  

A most personal honor came in 2012 when Whetstone set out to attend a powwow in Tonganoxie, Kansas, hoping to meet a very highly regarded Elder, Russell Means.  Arrived to discover Means had been hospitalized much to his disappointment, but Whetstone was pleased to discover Means’ daughter had come in her father’s place. The powwow officials honored Means’ daughter with a very special Pendleton blanket; the “Record Keeper” blanket – the very one TerryLee had been honored by Pendleton Woolen Mills to use in their 2008 Legendary Series.  Whetstone met Means nephew, Moses Brings Plenty, who had come to speak to the people and invited TerryLee to play his flute during his presentation, again another honor.  At a following event, Moses shared with Whetstone that the family had used his blanket during the memorial service for Russell Means, showing Whetstone once again, that we are all connected, all One, inspiring his art in painting and flute playing.  

Whetstone has written, performed, directed, choreographed, and produced 31 albums, 27 through his own Ahwatukee Production Company 2 produced under the Plume Music label, and two others through independent shops. He has been a finalist with the Indian Summer Music Awards, Native American Music Awards, World Class Just Plain Folks, and the World Class Indie Channel Music Awards 

WHETSTONe's spiritual connection guides him in all his endeavors to share the Creator's gifts through his flute playing, painting, jewelry design, and writing poetry.  His art is shared throughout many museums, gift shops, galleries, and trading posts, all around the United States and internationally.  

“The flute is a Life it comes from a branch of a tree or is taken from the trunk of a tree.  The tree has a voice even though we do not hear it in the tree form. Once a craftsman or artist reshapes the wood and gives it a way to speak, we provide the breath the lungs for its voice to speak to us all, the same as we push air through our own voice box to speak. The flute is a voice, that not only touches the listener, but it touches me each and every time I provide the breath for it to speak.  Having performed at so many different events and genres from private parties to large public events, one thing remains consistent throughout.  The flute is a Life, with many values, touching so many people in so many ways; all positive and good. I offer sound healing music...." 

Walk with One Heart, One Mind, and always keep Respect in front of you.
