Very touching song on a beautiful lonesome road. I understand the feeling of being a humble guest in the Zuni culture. When I was singing with Utah Opera in their outreach program, one of the elementary schools we visited was in Ibapa, Utah. It's in Tooele county, near the Nevada border. In fact, you have to drive to Nevada and backtrack to get to Ibapa. The little opera we did was Little Red Riding Hood with some sophisticated humor thrown in to make it bearable for the singers. The audience was 98% Goshute Indian children and what I remember is how quiet and respectful they were before and after our performance, but how much they laughed at the subtle humor like no other young audience in the state. They "got" it in a way that was informed by their culture.
Do you not have ancient ones that speak to you? In other words, don't come apart and feel sad.
very perceptive comment my friend. It was actually writing this song that lead me to start communicating with my ancient ones. It's made a big difference. thank you for your story.

This is brilliant.
I'll never forget my first Shalako 31 years ago - the goosebumps I got while experiencing this song we just the same. as that powerful night.
The liner notes are a must. Good storytelling gets me every time. Just beautiful, thank you so much.
Ede, thank you for the kind comments. It will be fun this summer spinning a few yarns and singing a few songs.
Very moved by “A Remembrance” and loved the liner notes. Thank you.

I love this, Hal. Looking forward to more!
