A free Apache flute download

President Obama today addressed more than 500 Indian chiefs in Washington, D.C. This reminds me to point out that November is American Indian Heritage Month.

Not to pat myself on the back... but last year, on this blog, I rocked the balls off of American Indian Heritage Month. Some of you might remember.

If not, you can still read about rock ’n’ roll Indians... or the Mohawk ironworkers... or the famous orator Chief Red Jacket... or Afro-Navajo recording artist Radmilla Cody... or the fascinating history of Canada’s oldest Christmas carol.

I won’t be kicking it like that this year. As a blogger, I’m a shell of my former self. Because now I got a real job.

Anyhoo... for American Indian Heritage Month 2009, the least I can do is point to a FREE MP3. Hope y’all dig Apache flute music.

Click here to hear “Flying Free” on my Vox blog. The artist is Andrew Vasquez. To download the track, click the title below.

  2. ^ I know, right? When I look back over my old posts, it's like they all took place in a weird time vacuum.

  3. Aw, I was hoping it would be a flute-filled version of the funk-breakbeat classic "Apache". Now THAT would be awesome. Maybe I should go make it myself.

  4. ^:-) I was listening to it the other day. I'm trying to figure out if "squaw" is derogatory.

  5. @bklyn6 'Squaw' is definitely absolutely, incontrovertibly derogatory.
