The Sounds of Silence

[H2O Man]

24. Absolutely!

I was talking to my daughter in Boston today. She works for the city's council, and I am hoping to be able to tell a story about something important she's accomplished recently. Anyhow, along with getting back in the recording studio, to complete her first CD that Covid put on hold, she joined a new group. She explained she prefers working with women overall, and likes the new people, one of whom she's recorded with before.

Anyhow, as the conversation went along, I said that one thing I've always wondered about is based upon my time at Onondaga Nation Territory, and watching documentaries. In Native society, when women get together to work, they sing. The Elders are teaching the young generation the songs associated, for example, with planting their gardens. Our culture has lost that, and at least in my opinion, that is not good. (I have worked in offices, of course, where that isn't possible.)
