My Dear Inipisong medicine man, man of the Grandfathers.

Thank you for these songs. from my grandfathers and my grandmothers to you Piamayaye,

Not a medicine man, just someone wanting to help folks who are trying to learn some songs. Thanks for the kind words.

I sing this often hoping Grandfather gets me back to Sundance this year. It will be a long journey by foot if he does not hear me. I must be able to finish my commitment.
