Author of the novel, Lucy Plays Panpipes for Peace. Played panpipes on the opening title credits of the Academy Award Nominated documentary, Recycled Life. A native Californian and SGI Buddhist, Lynette followed the sound of the panpipes to Peru and Bolivia, seeking the ideal society of which they sing. Indigenous musicians invited her to perform with them in traditional ceremonies and festivals, based on hearing her play. According to Northeast Intune Magazine, "If you can imagine what air, water, fire, and earth sound like in music notes, then you can imagine what Lynette Yetter’s songs sound like. ... spiritual in nature and have a worldly richness ... makes humans one with nature through the vibrations echoing in the bamboo reeds ... Her music gives nature its own expressive sound." One song she turned into an award winning music video - Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. The video features local folks from Oruro, Bolivia. The video plays regularly on Bolivian TV stations. The video shot up to #1 on a viewer requested television playlist. Lynette suspects that who are doing the requesting are locals wanting to see themselves on TV. Some of these locals, and others, are fictionalized in her novel, "Lucy Plays Panpipes for Peace," telling their own stories of ancestral spiritual wisdom, contraband running and U.S.-supported assassinations.
