Today's random #Discogs choice Buffy Sainte-Marie and She Used To Wanna Be A Ballerina 1971. Her vocals can be an acquired taste, but I like it. A wonderful version of Neil Young's Helpless (even he says it's the best version) and, of course Soldier Blue. Lovely.

My Country Tis of Thy People You're Dying
Now that the longhouses breed superstition
You force us to send our toddlers away
To your schools where they're taught to despise their traditions
Forbid them their languages, then further say
That American history really began
When Columbus set sail out of Europe, then stress
That the nation of leeches that conquered this land
Are the biggest and bravest and boldest and best
And yet where in your history books is the tale
Of the genocide basic to this country's birth
Of the preachers who lied, how the Bill of Rights failed
How a nation of patriots returned to their earth?
And where will it tell of the Liberty Bell
As it rang with a thud
O'er Kinzua mud
And of brave Uncle Sam in Alaska this year?
My country 'tis of thy people you're dying
#buffysaintemarie #Music #politicalmusic #genocide #history #nativeamericans
Carry it on
It ain't money that makes the world go round
That's only temporary confusion
It ain't governments that make the people strong
It's the opposite illusion
Look right now
And you will see they're only
Here by the skin of their teeth as it is
So take heart and take care of your link with life and
Oh carry it on, keep saying
Oh carry it on, and playing
Oh carry it on, and praying
Oh carry it on

Happy Birthday to #BuffySainteMarie!
"And he's fighting for Democracy,
He's fighting for the Reds,
He says it's for the peace of all.
He's the one who must decide,
Who's to live and who's to die,
And he never sees the writing on the wall."

"#BuffySainteMarie is one of the most prolific singer-songwriters of the past century.
For 60 years her music has quietly reverberated throughout pop culture, and provided a touchstone for #IndigenousResistance.
In this five-part series, #Mohawk and #Tuscarora writer #FalenJohnson explores how #Buffy’s life and legacy is essential to understanding #IndigenousResilience."

Buffy Sainte-Marie was on Sesame Street from 1975 to 1981. I am considering making a playlist of her clips and songs from her tenure on the show for future sharing.
#RetroView #BuffySainteMarie
And here's Buffy Sainte-Marie performing on Tinydesk earlier this year. Wonderfully energetic and punk rock at 81. We should all aspire to be this lively at that age. Looks like I have a lot of listening to do!
I've been exhuming Buffy Sainte-Marie's pre-"Up Where We Belong" work. Apparently, she was a goofy and very fun lyricist and an early Moog experimentalist (mixed with dobro guitar!). Check out "Better to Find Out for Yourself." Love her wails and her efforts to figure out how to incorporate the Moog. She also used early Apple computers for her art. And apparently she was married to Jack Nitzsche! She was also blacklisted for years in America.
Buffy Sainte-Marie sings "Little Wheel Spin and Spin" on Pete Seeger's show Rainbow Quest (1966)
