Editorial Reviews

INSPIRATIONS OF THE GREAT SPIRIT...Is a CD collection of 20 narrated lyric stories penned by Native American Lyricist Richard Bell. He is of Tahue (Taway) heritage which is a subgroup of the Apache people of the Southwestern US. The stories relate his experiences while visiting Native Americans from many different cultures. He lived on the Paiute Reservation at Pyramid Lake Nevada and learned a lot about the Paiute and Washoe cultures. The stories are narrated by Tim Enos who has a deep, haunting voice that reflects the character of the stories. Background flute music is performed by Sky Walkinstik, a Miwok Indian, who is world renowned for his flute making and playing. Beadwork on the cover was done by his wife, June Marie Bell. Many teachers play these CD's for their students in several schools. He's also a well known Native American carver of bone, antler and wood, and he carves many pieces of bone jewelry for the Tribal Undertaker at the Warm Springs Reservation which is adjacent to his shop, WINDCARVER GIFTS in Grass Valley, Oregon.
