Jim Dandy:
UNFORTUNATELY I AM ON WEBTV AND CANNOT DOWNLOAD YOU TUBE VIDEOS.
I'M SURE IT IS VERY GOOD THOUGH.
I HAVE SOME OF ROBBIE'S MUSIC ON
CD AND CASSETTE TAPE.

SEAWOLF2: HIYA SEAWOLF! ABOUT TIME THEY UPDATED WEBTV FOR UTUBE DON,T YOU THINK

Mousetrap:
THEY HAVEN'T HAD AN "UPGRADE" FOR WEBTV IN NEARLY 3 YEARS NOW! LET'S FACE IT... BILL GATES ONLY BOUGHT OUT THE ORIGINAL WEBTV SO HE COULD MONOPOLIZE IT AND PUT IT
OUT OF BUSINESS. AND SINCE THE ANALOG TV SIGNAL WILL BE GOING OFF THE FREE AIRWAVES IN THE NEAR FUTURE THERE IS NO REASON FOR MSN TO BOTHER DOING AN UPGRADE FOR US WEBBIES NOW. WEBTV IS FAST HEADED
TO THE INTERNET GRAVEYARD! SURE WOULDN'T HOLD MY BREATH LOOKING FOR THEM TO MAXIMIZE THE BROWSER
AT THIS LATE DATE IN THE GAME.

SEAWOLF2: WELL I AM SURE NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO DIGITAL TV. HALF THE STUFF AINT EVEN ON SUBTITLES YET.
MEANWHILE HERE IS SOME MORE PHANTOM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej1zMxbhOO0&mode=related&search=
JUST BECAUSE I CAN

Mousetrap:
I'M CERTAINLY NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FULL SWING PUSH TO THE DIGITAL TV FORMAT EITHER! FOR ONE, I CANNOT AFFORD A DIGITAL TV
NOR CAN I AFFORD THE SPECIAL CONVERTOR BOX THE GOVT. IS GOING TO FORCE THOSE OF US STILL ON THE "OLD FASHIONED" TV'S TO BUY IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE NEW "P-A-Y"
TV SIGNAL. IT'S CRIMINAL THAT THE GOVT. IS ALLOWING THE SATELLITE
AND CABLE COMPANIES TO STEAL OUR
FREE PUBLIC TELEVISION SIGNAL AND HOLD US OLD FOLKS HOSTAGE LIKE THIS!! THE ANALOG SIGNAL HAD BEEN
EARMARKED FOR "REMOVAL" THIS YEAR
BUT THERE ARE STILL TOO MANY OF US ANALOG TV USERS STILL NOT ON
SATELLITE OR CABLE TV SERVICE, SO THEY EXTENDED THE DATE TO 2008 OR
EARLY 2009. THE IDEA IS TO MAKE US ALL CONVERT TO THE DIGITAL SIGNAL AND MAKE US ALL PAY FOR TV SERVICE! THE REALITY THOUGH IS WE CANNOT ALL AFFORD TO PAY FOR TV!
MANY SENIORS LIKE MYSELF ARE ON FIXED INCOMES AND LIVE WELL BELOW
THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. IT IS GROSSLY UNFAIR TO PUT THE BURDEN OF PAYING FOR BASIC TELEVISION RECEPTION ON US FOR THE PROFIT OF THE GREEDY MEDIA INDUSTRY PUSHING
TO HIJACK THE ANALOG SIGNAL AIR WAVES THAT ARE PUBLIC DOMAIN AND
FREE FOR PUBLIC USE!! TECHNOLOGY
IS MERELY A CONVENIENT TOOL; HOW WE CHOOSE TO USE OR EXPLOIT IT IS WHAT MAKES IT A "GOOD" TOOL OR A "BAD" TOOL.... NEED I SAY MORE?!

SEAWOLF2: NO< I THINK YOU SAID IT ALL
I AGREE!

Jim Dandy:
THERE ARE MANY GOOD NATIVE AMERICAN ARTISTS OUT THERE, JIM!
ONE OF MY FAVORITES, AND A MEMBER OF THE ONEIDA IROQUOIS, IS JOANNE
SHENANDOAH. SHE HAS A REMARKABLE VOICE.... HAUNTING AND SPIRITUAL.
IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD HER MUSIC THEN YOU ARE MISSING SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL. DO CHECK HER OUT
WHEN YOU HAVE THE TIME; IT WILL NOT BE WASTED TIME I ASSURE YOU.

MITAKUYE OYASIN!!

SEAWOLF2: I'll check her out.I won't give you a utube link for this artist,but I urge you to read the bio I'm posting and checkout her music

http://www.firstnationsdrum.com/biography/wint00_aglukark.htm

I just listened to EAGLE CRIES sung by Joanne,a very timely messege.Thanks for directing me to her.

Jim Dandy:

YOU'RE WELCOME, JIM! I KNEW YOU WOULD FIND JOANNE SHENANDOAH A WORTHY FIND! 8^)

THANKS FOR THE LINK TO SUSAN AGLUKARK'S BIO. I WILL CHECK IT OUT! FROM A QUICK SKIM OF THE ARTICLE IT APPEARS SHE HAS QUITE
A STORY TO TELL. THANKS FOR SHARING! BTW... SINCE I MAY HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER OVER THE COMING WEEKEND WOULD YOU PLEASE POST THE YOU TUBE LINK FOR SUSAN'S VIDEO ANYWAY? I MIGHT GET
A CHANCE TO SEE IT, AND THERE ARE OTHERS HERE WHO MIGHT ALSO LIKE TO SEE IT TOO! THANKS VERY MUCH!!

FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED IN BOOKS WITH NATIVE AMERICAN THEMES AND NATIVE STORY-TELLING I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BOOKS OF JOSEPH BRUCHAC. HIS STORIES ARE FAMILY
ORIENTED AND APPEAL TO CHILDREN AND ADULTS ALIKE. IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE CHECK THEM OUT. SOME OF HIS STORIES ARE FOUND ON AUDIO
RECORDINGS AS WELL. HE'S ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES.

SEAWOLF2: My pleasure.I chose this video for both its visual and audio beauty

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtNuELl5he0&mode=related&search=

Jim Dandy:
THANK YOU JIM FOR POSTING THAT LINK. I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT THIS WEEKEND WHILE I AM AWAY AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE FOR A FEW DAYS. 8^)

Jim Dandy:
JIM, I FINALLY GOT TO VIEW THE SUSAN AGLUKARK VIDEO / SLIDE-SHOW... WHAT
CAN I SAY BUT THAT IT BROUGH TEARS TO MY EYES THAT ONLY ANOTHER NATIVE SPIRIT COULD UNDERSTAND. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT WITH ME. I ESPECIALLY LOVED THE SHOTS OF THE AURORA BOREALIS IN THE VIDEO ----
IN ONE WORD: A-W-E-S-0-M-E!! I KNOW I WILL HAVE TO FIND MORE OF THIS GAL'S WORK
NOW... THANKS FOR SHARING IT WITH US!!!

SEAWOLF2: JOSEPH BRUCHAC

Nirvana:
YES! THAT'S THE RIGHT JOSEPH BRUCHAC! 8^)

SEAWOLF2: an excellent writer.

SEAWOLF2: JOSEPH BRUCHAC


HOPEFULLY WHEN YOU ARE AWAY YOU CAN ALSO WATCH THIS ONE!

Nirvana:
THANK YOU NIRVANA FOR SHARING THAT VIDEO OF JOSEPH BRUCHAC. HE IS A MASTER
STORY-TELLER AND A WONDERFUL TEACHER FOR ALL AGES. THANKS AGAIN FOR POSTING
THAT FOR US!!!

Jim Dandy:
FINALLY GOT TO SEE THE ROBBIE ROBERTSON VIDEO, JIM!! TERRIFIC!!
I'M ENJOYING THE VIDEOS.... BUT IS THERE A WAY TO ENLARGE THEM FOR BETTER VIEWING? I'M NOT VERY COMPUTER SAVVY YOU KNOW... LOL! I GUESS I'M JUST USED TO WEBTV, BUT THIS OPPORTUNITY TO USE A FRIEND'S PC HAS ALLOWED ME TO SEE WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT HERE AT LAST. 8^)

SEAWOLF2:  YOU CAN ENLARGE THE VIDS TO FULL SCREEN.  ON THE
BOTTOM RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF THE YOU TUBE WINDOW THERE IS A LITTLE
BUTTON, IT'S PRETTY HARD TO SEE EVEN FOR ME, BUT IT'S THERE.  I'D SAY
IT'S SAFE TO SAY POSITION THE CURSOR OVER THAT CORNER, AND CLICK.  THE
VIDEO SHOULD THEN TAKE UP THE SCREEN.  TO RETURN TO THE REGULAR SIZED
WINDOW, JUST PRESS ESCAPE.

SEAWOLF2: I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE BEING ABLE TO CATCH UP ON THE MUSIC WE ALL WERE TALKING ABOUT.

Jim Dandy:

ME TOO!! 8^)

SEAWOLF2: IN MY OPINION ONE OF PETER GABRIEL'S MOST POWERFUL SONGS.I FELT THIS THE PERFECT CHANCE TO POST IT

Jim Dandy:
IT SURE LOOKED TO BE A VERY COMPELLING PERFORMANCE, JIM... BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT I COULDN'T HEAR THE VOCALS HARDLY AT ALL.
THE BACKGROUND SOUND WAS SO LOUD IT JUST DROWNED PETER'S VOICE OUT THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE PERFORMANCE.
SHAME TOO, AS IT VISUALLY WAS VERY MOVING.

SEAWOLF2: A VERY SPIRITUAL SONG.I AGREE,THE CROWD DOES DROWN OUT THE VOCAL A BIT.

I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF THIS PERIOD IN THE CAREER OF RUSH,BUT THIS SONG CONTAINS MAYBE MY FAVORITE LYRICS THEY HAVE EVER WRITTEN ENJOY!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA6sAHgatl4

Jim Dandy:
IT WASN'T THE CROWD THAT DROWNED ROBBIE OUT, JIM.... IT WAS THE BACKGROUND MUSIC AND PERCUSSION!!
IT OVERWHELMED HIS VOCALS AND TOOK
AWAY A LOT OF WHAT I KNOW WAS A MOST
COMPELLING PERFORMANCE!! 8^\

SEAWOLF2: SORRY,I THINK i GOT THE VIDEOS CUNFUSED.YOU'RE RIGHT,TOO MUCH COMPRESSION IN THE MIX,COMMON FOR THE 80'S

THIS ISN'T OFFICIALLY A MUSIC BOAD WITHOUT THE MASTER
