Story behind the song
NATIVE AMERICAN ODYSSEY - Sonatina (LP 13:08) PART ONE - "Dance Song of the Thompson River Indians" is a 1897 Phonograph Cylindar Recording (unedited original) by Niaka'pamus (Thompson River Indians) in British Columbia, Canada. The Native American Singer/Percussion Player are unknown. PART TWO: "A People's Dream Died There" is a JBBQ Movement inspired by Sioux Indians ; and the words used for the Movement title were by Black Elk. He was an eye witness at the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29, 1890 (near Wounded Knee Creek) on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, USA. It was the last battle of the American Indian Wars. See the following Wikipedia link for a summary of this historic human tragedy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wounded_Knee_Massacre JBBQ has previously recorded a song called "FACING SOUL AT WOUNDED KNEE MASSACRE - 12/29/1890" (See song presently posted above on JBBQ Music Page One - SC). In essence, the song description's first sentence states the horrendous facts: "Elegy for the estimated 300 LAKOTA SIOUX NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN MEN, WOMEN, & CHILDREN massacred by U.S. 7th Calvary at Wounded Knee (South Dakota) 12/29/1890." PART THREE: "Eagle Song of the Hopi Indians" is a 1906 Phonograph Cylindar Recording by Hopi Indians in Arizona, United States. The Native American Singers/Drummers are unknown. PART FOUR - "Native American Odyssey" and "Native American Pride" are JBBQ Movements created as contemporary music extensions of the old Native American Recordings presented in this Sonatina in whole and as Preamble/Reprise.

Wonderful combination of historical information and contemporary music. Loved the fiddle tones...they capture the sadness that the native Americans probably felt as the last of their efforts to preserve their way of life was taken from them and the BLM took control of their lives. Very well done Bob...hats off to you!

What a wonderfully produced piece of history and art combined to pay tribute to the American Indian, and their struggle to keep their life & traditions in the face of overwhelming oppression

Epic indeed, an incredible listen. The carefully chosen (so thankful that they still exist!) and highly treasured field recordings segment the suite perfectly. Very special, an audio documentary, a treasure. Your fine signature additions provide the complimentary emotional elements to enhance the listening experience. I commend you Dr. Bob, you and the guys have gone beyond what anyone could have ever expected. Should be required listening in our schools, I will have my daughters check this out, and we'll discuss what you were able to accomplish. Thank you.

This seriously epic work captivated me at the challenge and it gets better with each listen. Fantastic stuff Dr B - deep, heartfelt and put together with an obvious passion. The backstory further enhances the poignancy. Probably my fav of the night and I've had to download it so I can listen to all 13 mins over again in the car. Magical!
