WALELA, The Cherokee word for hummingbird and the symbol of
inspiration for this family of women singers.
They are Rita Coolidge, her sister Priscilla Coolidge, and
Priscilla's daughter Laura Satterfield.

 

yeah, this is going to be good,....

I know someone who worked on the pre production services, production
and post editing of the concert footage, and she has told me it is
going to be good.

Of course, the waters woman (at Native Arts Culture Group) is a bit biased of course, having been
involved.
But I trust her assessment, she knows her stuff.

Thanks!


Blessings.
