Something different to listen to
Some of our loyal readers will recall our mentioning that we once hosted a talk radio show... it once aired 3 times per week for 1 hour, live, every week for some 12 years or so. This archived interview is in the genre of: Green and ethical music. The two entertaining guests have a lot to offer.
Michael White of Raven Bear Drums was a professional hockey player, who once played for the Detroit redwings, among other teams – but when that career ended he became lost and depressed and in this state of disorientation issues from the past crept back in his mind and he spent some time on the street. Michael grew up outside of his culture in a foster home, and he now works to build a gap between the aboriginal world, the world on the street, and the rest of the world. He shares his passion for making a difference and closes with a beautiful poem about adoption. Today he is an artist, musician & performer; he facilitates drum building & culture bridging workshops & lectures to a variety of youth groups. Julie White (Draper), his wife and partner, is an artist and her work is featured on their drums as well. Julie has since passed on and Michael is now a widower... he moved to another location and I am not sure if he continues to build and sell traditional drums. However the interview is a rewarding experience.
