The Rain Plays On
Good morning and welcome,
Here we are gathered once again. Today’s music is mostly coming from the Indigenous Music Awards out of Manitoba, Canada. While I was putting the show together last night, the award show was happening. So you are getting the nominees and winners fresh.
Don’t forget to keep the umbrella handy.
Walk in Peace,
Tall Feathers
