Speak Dog, Speak!

I've been working on our original website Oyate Ta Olowan.We've been working on adding digital downloads to the site, but it's still a challenge. Oyate is a public radio series that we did on traditional Native American music. We did 52 half hour shows and traveled over 100,000 miles collecting music from all over the Americas. It was a while ago, but people still seem to love it, so we keep offering the shows for sale.

It's all a part of our little press Many Kites Press. Life is so amazing, and so full, but we keep on trucking. I hope things are going well for all of you, and that continue to create wonderful things. Later, Milt Lee



Dog Man

Dog Man

This is a piece that I did as an homage to Werner Herzog and his documentary. Grizzly Man. Of course I could never duplicate the amazing. haunting. and completely over the top film about a man who sets out to save the grizzly bear. IMDB calls it a “devastating and heartrending take on grizzly bear activists Timothy Treadwell and Amie Huguenard, who were killed in October of 2003 while living among grizzlies in Alaska.” Well….yes, maybe I suppose. I remember the night I watched it. I told Jamie about it when she got home. I told her that I was blown away by this film. I couldn’t believe how nuts this guy was. She said, well, let’s watch a minute. So I turned it on and ended up watching it all over again. This moved me to doing this piece the next morning. So there you are. Dog Man.

    haaha Grizzly Man was a great movie. Herzog has that touch for the cool weird that scares the shit out of me. So funny to see this tribute/parody.

    By the way, im psyched to see the theme you and Eric create. It’s looking good.

    Hi Ry, in the movie, there is speculation that the whole reason that Timothy Treadwell went to Alaska, and took up the bear thing was because he was thwarted in his acting career by Woody Harrelson who got the part of the bartender in Cheers over him. It sounds pretty weak to me, but I thought it was a nice touch.

    Hahahaha…Move over Herzog! That was truly magnificent and 100 percent funny. :)
