Always Giving Thanks

Sat, Nov 27, 2021

Good morning and welcome to your weekend.

This Saturday is the last one we have in November. Thanksgiving has been honored and many people went out bargain hunting yesterday.

The music selected to day brings a mix of fun, somber, and holiday cheer. Now that the threshold for holiday music has been crossed, playing as much or as little holiday music is fair game.

This past week Joanne Shenandoah left this world and joined the ancestors. While many of us are mourning Joanne’s death I wanted to begin to plan a tribute show soon. So stay posted for the details soon.

Today there won’t be an official This Week in Indian Country. Instead I hope the music will speak for itself as a reflection of the history on this land.

Blessings to each and everyone of you.
