Native American Musical Heritage! (Sep 26th, 2025)

The fourth Friday of September is California Native American Day, an annual day of observance of the First People of California that "celebrates living cultures, affirms Tribal sovereignty, and educates the broader public about Native history, resilience and leadership."  In that spirit, this week's show focuses upon the many contributions to popular music from musicians of Native heritage, with selections from Link Wray, Robbie Robertson, Mildred Bailey, Debora Iyall, Samantha Crain and more. A special shout-out goes to the superb  documentary Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the Planet.
