Good morning, today's Monday November 24th and it's the start of a new work week and we're coming up on Thanksgiving Day so let's get to it.
Over the weekend me and the crew went up to the White Horse Nomee Family Pow Wow and just 5 of us went out and we were the Host Drum as well. There was me, Uncle Hodge, Alexander, Shawn, Phil Allen that started the Friday session out. Eventually we were joined by Phil Fulton, Ryzen Marchand, Louie Plant Sr. and James Nomee. It was a good and fun weekend we had at the pow wow and we got to sing quite a bit which we enjoyed. I also entered the Hand Drum contest and there were only 5 singers who were allowed to enter, I came in 2nd and was given $25 but I got to sing original songs. In about 3 weeks the committee will be gifting us a brand-new drum and drumsticks and that's like one of the best gifts you could ever get, we can't wait to receive the new drum and sticks, and we will be using that drum. The entire White Hawk NW singers would like to say Thank You to the pow wow committee and the Nomee family for selecting us to serve as the Host Drum for their pow wow this year, we've also been invited to Plummer Days in 2026, and we've honored the invitation and will be going there.
Currently we're not sure when we will be back on the road again, usually in the month of January the Spokane Tribe has the 1881 Pow Wow and we're not sure if it'll happen again but we will be waiting for the next pow wow to go to. I know we're coming into the winter months but we're already thinking about the upcoming spring pow wow season so all we can do is hurry up and wait until that pow wow season arrives.
Over the new 2-3 days after work, I'll be up at the NCC Recording Studio. Adrian James and I have been working away to build up the recording studio and making it usable even for a band or a drum group to come in and use. We will continue to set up the music room and if anyone out there is interested in using the studio contact NCC or myself and let's get you scheduled to come on in and check it out.
I'm sharing my song here "Beauty You Showed Me" and this is the song I sang over the weekend at the White Horse Pow Wow in the one-man hand drum contest. This song was composed for my wife, and the link is for YouTube music so if you haven't heard it come on over and check it out and don't forget to share the link with everyone out there.
