Welcome to the rhythm of my journey, I am Yolanda Martinez, a Native American born in Southern New Mexico deeply connected to Earth Mother. My journey has taken me down many paths. Born into a family of thirteen in the vast cotton fields of Carlsbad, New Mexico, I yearned for something beyond the rhythm of their sun-drenched days. Driven by an innate connection to nature and a restless spirit, I embarked on a journey beyond my imagination. We moved to California central valley in 1965 and after high school I entered the corporate world in San Jose, CA. In 1975 at 23, I moved to Kodiak, Alaska where I became one of the first woman to work on a commercial fishing boat. I fished for two years as cook on the boat and doing all seasons like dragging for shrimp, going for Tanner, Dungeness, and King Crab in the Bering Sea and in 1978, I opened my first business, “Yolanda's Gallery and Custom Picture Framing.” I spent eight years in Kodiak where I got married and gave birth to my daughter in 1980. In 1983, I moved back to the lower forty-eight, bringing with me the experiences and lessons from my time in Alaska. It was 1987 in Monterey, CA. when I made my first drum, and it turned out to be made from a redwood planter I purchased at the hardware store and a salted cow hide from Tandy Leather. My beater I made from an extra-long wooden spoon. It turned out pretty good. It was 1992 in Modesto Ca., that I began to feel a growing confidence in my drums when, without any announcement or advertisement, people started showing up at my door asking if I was the drum woman. When I replied, “I guess,” they would smile and say, “I think you have my drum here. “I welcomed them into my home, and they would choose their drum from the lineup. Somehow, I always knew which belonged to each person as soon as they came in. The path became incredibly challenging when I was guided to bring my drums to Native American Pow Wow Festivals. I sensed there could be significant repercussions, so I was very hesitant. The first festival I attended was in 1993 in Turlock, CA. My sisters came to support me as I was still not well. (I had suffered a poisoning and went to death’s door.) When the Elders discovered the beautiful drums in my booth were made by me, they approached me with a mix of curiosity and authority. Three male Elders came to my booth, examined the drums, and asked, “Who made these drums?” I responded, “I did.” They seemed angry and demanded “Who gave you permission?” I met their gaze, pointed a finger upward, and said, “If you know of a higher power that can tell me to stop, I will.” They hesitated, exchanged glances, looked at the drums again, and then said, “Nice drums.” This was my experience for the first four years of attending festivals across the country. After many years, a young man came to my booth and told me that I had become known as the “Master Drum Maker,” a recognition that brought tears and profound joy to my heart. I have traveled all over the US and Europe doing concerts, lectures on Native American ways, and drum making workshops for over 20 years. I created “Yolanda’s Apprentice Drum School” for people that want to become professional drum makers. It was the drum that brought forth my music, my singing, the courage to perform and my strong re-connection with Spirit and Earth Mother. . . . Aho

Alex De Grassi is a guitarist extraordinaire whose interpretation of the Radio Curious theme, entitled “The Last Cowboy”, you may hear if you listen carefully. In this edition of Radio Curious he asks us ‘What does a cumulous cloud sound like when played on guitar?’ Alex De Grassi will share that sound with us in this interview. De Grassi played the trumpet as a child and when he was about 12, his brother was given a guitar, which soon gave Alex inspiration… allowing us to hear what a cumulous cloud sounds like. Our conversation began when I asked him about his relationship with the guitar. You can learn more about his work at his website www.degrassi.com. Alex De Grassi came to the studio of Radio Curious for this conversation on November 12th 2008. The book Alex De Grassi recommends is “Musicophilia: Tales Of Music And The Brain”, by Oliver Sacks.

The first half of today’s show is dedicated to covering the early moves to dismantle the DEI initiatives that many companies adopted in 2020 in response to George Floyd’s death and the resulting protests. The early moves to dismantle the DEI initiatives are in response to the forthcoming Trump administration. For the second part of today’s episode, we explore a few recent examples of hypocrisy from the right including a state representative telling an indigenous candidate to go back to where she came from, the outrage at President Biden’s lie when he suggested that he would not pardon Hunter Biden, but the lack of outrage over Trump appointing Project 2025 architects to key cabinet positions, and a Trump-appointed judge striking down overtime protections for American workers in favor of businesses. Our Way Black History Fact covers the prohibition of racial discrimination in the U.S. military.
