Episode 399: The Home Team

The New World wasn’t new to the native inhabitants as they watched those first tall ships arrive from Europe. They knew their land, had names for its features, knew their friends and enemies, and had a sophisticated culture. Here at the gathering place for people who love band music we’re going to celebrate the cultures of the indigenous people of the American continent, and make sure we give old Christopher Columbus a bit of credit, too.
