Meegwetch to the original 1968 Featherman line-up ~ Martin Tuesday, Percy Tuesday, Maurice MacArthur, Francis Paul, Roland Lavallee, Chuck Scribe, Angus Monroe, Brian Ranville, Billy Joe Green ~ who’s unbending devotion to making music opened the doors to many new generations of Indigenous & Indigenous friendly musicians that followed their breaking trail, creating & giving equal devotion to their own original art form. Meegwetch also to manager Alex Daniels, Myra, Mary, Ernie Guilbault & family for their wonderful support in the early days. Also to the late Dorothy Betz & her staff at the Indian & Metis Friendship Centre during 1968/69. They helped us survive some of the most lean times.
This album of music is also dedicated to the late, great, unforgettable Jim Flett who arrived in Winnipeg about the same time we did. He also mentored & pioneered guitar playing in Indian country for many decades. He was the ‘go to’ guitarman for Sunshine Records Studios in their hey day. He played on hundreds of recordings all through the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s well into the 21st century before Indian country lost him to illness. We the FEATHERMEN, benefited from him always being in tip top playing form; which meant, we had to be in good form as well.
Last, but not least, meegwetch to the many friends, families & fans that still remember where it all began; at a little dance hall at the Indian & Metis Friendship Centre located at 73 Princess Street. A safe place that also welcomed the huge Indian migration to the city of Winnipeg, MB. in the late 1960’s.
