Wow! Thank you for all that! I am touched. Really! FYI: Debbie Harry sent Elisapie à personal note to Elisapie last year.

Got one more coming from Elisapie in just a sec, Bobby: the Wild Horses cover from the same record. And I second the motion to the world throwing down their arms. Stop the wars indeed!

Inuktituk is such a wonderful sounding language! Cree also. Too bad i can't understand a word of it. Maybe over time.

1:47 PM, January 28th, 2024
Bobby Calzone
Also, everybody go check out her videos: they are all images of her youth, and today in Nunavut. Truly beautiful stuff. This IS world music, and culture. And so much closer to us, and we have neglected to notice it for so long, not to mention the unceded territory.

1:47 PM, January 28th, 2024
Bobby Calzone
There are classes here in mont laurier for cree and algonquin

1:48 PM, January 28th, 2024
Rob Bitschofsky (host)
There you go, PeterB: you can learn Cree and Algonquin! Will check out the videos as well, BC, and the rest of the record. Those two tracks were amazing.

1:50 PM, January 28th, 2024
Bobby Calzone
I would say the best track is Time after Time.... if you have ... time ;)

Back to that previous stream.... Dept of OH i shoulda mentioned ... Interested Earthlings may want to check out CKCU program 'Uqallagvik ', Weds 11:00 - 12:00. For Inuit, by Inuit, largely in Inuktitut. i used to hand off with that bunch when i was hosting 'Loosely Connected'. A very fun and friendly bunh to be sure -- studio was a zoo of too many people, smiles, laughing and babies. Totally inviting and de-stressing. Also: 'Indigenous CKCU', 'Bear Necessities', and those other ones i may have missed. COMMUNITY RADIO IS IMPORTANT Peace all, pass hugs forward.
