We are educated men. We spend time improving ourselves in the knowledge of nature’s laws, and bind ourselves together as Brethren in this world of separation. We study the meaning of our ritual, and perfect our memories of the ancient texts and tenets of our gentle Craft. We endeavor to impart very deep truths to the men who walk across our threshold, and labor endlessly to ingrain Masonry’s teachings in order to make good men better.

But every so often, our souls soar to the heights when our Brethren practice their art.

During our last meeting, we were treated to a display of Brother Altuntas’ skill in playing guitar in the timeless Flamenco style. After a discourse on the origin and stylistic genre of this passionate music, the walls of Dover Lodge seemed themselves to listen as our Brother took us on a journey by playing us a sample.

Brethren and friends, Dover Lodge is undertaking an amazing journey of strongest brotherhood, mystical and moving teaching, and passionate art. Won’t you come walk with us?

Below is a sample of Brother Altuntas’ work. Please note – what he plays below is not from memory or sheet music. It is completely spontaneous and impromptu.
