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:

You Can Weave

You Can Weave: A Simple and Basic Guide to Weaving by Mary E. Black & Bessie E. Murray, McClelland & Stewart, Toronto, 1974 "This book is designed for children, but adults can use it too."
The hand lettering reminds me a bit of Wanda Gág's children's books (lettered by her brother, Howard).

It's Christmas Time/Happy New Year To You!

It's Christmas Time/Happy New Year to You! by The Qualities, Satur(n) Records, 1956(?)

This is a rare and messed up vocal/doo-wop record produced by Sun Ra and Alton Abraham. Sun Ra plays harmonium. Vocalists are unidentified.

I tried to transfer it, but my efforts failed. However, you can listen to the a-side here.

Happy Holidays to all. I'm going to try to take a break from posting until the new year.

Howard Finster: The Night Before Christmas/This Wicked World

(endpapers, illustration details, and photo of Howard Finster from) The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore, illustrated by Howard Finster, Longstreet Press, 1998.
Along with Moore's original text, Finster has bordered each page with his own handwritten messages: "THE FURTHER YOU PUSH GOD BACK THE WORSE IT WILL GET"
