Long before europeans arrived, the Gastineau was home to the Auke and Taku tribes — today known as Tlinget Indians — where they lived, and thrived for thousands of years. The native cultures are rich with artistic traditions including carving, weaving, orating, singing and dancing, and Juneau has become a major social center for the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian of Southeast Alaska.
In 1880, when the lust for gold ran through the new world like a plague, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris were ordered back through that Gastineau Channel in case they had overlooked something. At the head of Gold Creek the two men found nuggets of gold the size of peas and beans. From there, the area known today at Juneau, Alaska (originally Harrisburg) exploded as the heart of the Klondike era. The end of the gold rush in California, the birth of dreams which streamed north through Canada, up river, over glaciers, and into valleys who’s sky was so full of light that the lonesome dreamers forgot their former lives, fell in love with her wonder, and never left.

Last sunday’s transmission of Sunday Soul: Juneau was a very special live broadcast from Juneau, Alaska. Humbly and hastily set up in front of friends and family and broadcast hours earlier than our usual time together on sundays. Seems like a numer of friends missed the post about how we were going east coast time this week, but that’s ok. the archive is up now at Treehouse Muzique and now at the bottom of Sunday Soul too for you to stream, download or open up in a new window to catch up with what went down.
After a few beautiful days in Juneau I was once again an omnivore, vulnerable and free, washed clean by the unbelievably beautiful air, inspired by the glacier, the mountains, the sea, and the beautiful family of wonderful people I found there. Closer to you, on strangely failiar ground I have grown. This music barely expresses my experience there.
