Joy Harjo's Web Log

Woke up at the grounds at dawn with birds, crickets, and a little rain. Came back into Glenpool to the delivery of the first boxes of Native Joy for Real.

It's here. Finally, gratefully here.

And it's available, an online special for $12.00 plus $3.00 postage and handling. Send a check or money order to: Mekko Productions, Inc, P.O.Box 891, Glenpool, OK 74033. They will be available in a few weeks from Amazon.com.. Let us know what you think.

It's also available from the Creek Council House Museum in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. They are the very first retail outlet.

How to describe the music? Tribal rock-jazz-folk-and dance, all blended together.

Keep thinking of the "In the Cool of the Evening Church" next to the Daylight Doughnut Shop in Tulsa. My brother and I used to sell white sacks of doughnuts door to door on Saturday mornings from the doughnut shop. The church is new or relatively new, or it has been there since before time itself.

Tomorrow it's onto Iowa City for a keynote and performance. Again, through dawn's door.
