Happy First Nation Thanksgiving

Image
We have added a lot of new music for this year’s First Nation Thanksgiving. The holiday, celebrated in the U.S. in November and in Canada in October, is a complicated one, especially for indigenous peoples. Originally an indigenous holiday, Thanksgiving has come to mean different things to different people. To honor the indigenous origins of Thanksgiving, we will be streaming music from Canadian and American First Nation artists on November 22 from 12pm -12am.  Many of these artists won awards at this year's Native American Music Awards .

Roy Clarke on this Week's Song of the Week

Image
In honor of the passing of the great Roy Clark, we are playing his classic, "Yesterday, When I Was Young," the title track from his 1969 release. The album is in its original shrink-wrap with the price tag from K-Mart.  10am and 10pm Central - then, throughout the week.

Third Annual First Nation Thanksgiving

Image
As a history teacher, I believe that history matters. Thanksgiving is a complicated event in the history of the United States. The first Thanksgiving that offered hope and an example of what could be, gave way to war, genocide, and the destruction of culture all across North America. That trend continues to this day, especially in light of the effort in North Dakota and other states to disenfranchise Native people . We should, on Thanksgiving Day, acknowledge this history. For this purpose, we will offer a mix of music on Thanksgiving that features hundreds of First Nation artists and musicians. Many of these artists have been honored at the Native American Music Awards . It is our way to acknowledge that Thanksgiving is complicated and we should recognize those who were here before European exploration and the devastating results of conquest.  Many in the First Nation community do not see this as a day of Thanksgiving, so we offer the music as a means to reflect on this fact a...

Coming Soon - The Frank Sinatra Detention Club

Image
This show has been 28 years in the making. When I first started teaching, I created the Frank Sinatra Detention Club and played "Ol' Blue Eyes" to students when I had to give them a detention. This was not punishment, but a way to make detention more enjoyable for me and perhaps get some kids to appreciate the music of this American legend. Now, The Frank Sinatra Detention Club is coming to Vinyl Voyage Radio. This show, streaming live every week starting October 7, will feature nearly two hours of music from Frank Sinatra and Friends. It will also include trivia, movie clips and "Extra Credit Frank Sinatra Questions" - the same ones I have been putting on all on my tests for the last 28 years! Check out the official Frank Sinatra Detention Club website.

Review: "Tales From PA 6" by Tom Flannery and Bret Alexander

Image
One of the new albums we are featuring this month is Tales From PA 6 , by Tom Flannery and Bret Alexander. Back in 2016, the duo released their first venture together, Dupont Back Porches . That album was spontaneous, quickly produced and recorded. It was raw, emotional and actually felt as if it were recorded on a porch and you were there for the making of it. Tales From PA 6 sounds different. It is more polished. It is more thoughtful. It feels like these two have been playing together for years, actually. Their voices compliment each other and nicely underscore the stories they tell. The title of the album is a reference to a road running through northeastern Pennsylvania, where they both live. The idea was to construct an album telling stories that may have occurred along that road. I have never been on that road, as far as I know. I have only been to the region once. But location does not matter here. We all have roads like this running near our homes, all pointed in the ...
