Winston Wuttunee

See The arrow by Winston Wuttunee, Sunshine Records, no date (mid to late 70's), recorded at Century 21 Studios in Winnipeg.
Winston Wuttunee was born in Saskatchewan and is still active today as a singer, lecturer, and comedian. This record is fairly diverse, with songs sung in English, French, and Cree.---It's this one song, Wunisca (meaning "wake-up" in Cree), that I keep coming back to:

truth forever bending/always hopeful never ending

Don't It Drag On by Chris Smither, Tomato Records, 1971 (art direction and design by Milton Glaser, photographs by Duane Michaels)
One song that I return to over and over again---I've Got Mine. Listen here. See also this cover by Kria Brekkan and Avey Tare. Troubles come by threes/doing what they wanna/instead of doing what they oughta/ I've got mine./Some are quickly passed/others seem to last/hold on.

Be Glad

The Incredible String Band: Be Glad For The Song Has No Ending, a film by Peter Neal, 1969.
