Sunday Morning comes around every week

without fail

and it makes me want to think

of the things I do

I’m Lost in the City (1971) is the sole vinyl LP offering from Yup’ik singer-songwriter, John Angaiak. Born in Nightmute, Alaska, in 1941, Angaiak began playing guitar at a young age, quickly learning the basics before serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Stationed in Vietnam and far away from home, Angaiak forged an astute outlook on his region, his country, and the world itself. Upon his return, Angaiak enrolled in the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, where he became active in the preservation of his native language as part of the school’s Eskimo Language Workshop. Inspired by the program’s work and a friendship with music student Stephen Halbern, Angaiak recorded I’m Lost in the City, a project that helped to document and promote the previously oral Yup’ik language into a written one through a series of songs. Each side of the album, which showcases John’s intimate vocal and guitar style, shares a part of Angaiak’s culture and history: Side One is sung in Yup’ik, while the material on Side Two is delivered in English. Both are equally emotional, deeply personal and extremely affecting. Over 13 songs, Angaiak speaks to his community and also to the world. “Ak’a Tamaani,” for one, became a regional hit in Alaska and reached as far as Greenland where Angaiak later performed in concert. Though I’m Lost in the City garnered a small mention in industry bible Billboard, regardless of the album’s cultural value, it sold poorly outside of Alaska and other northern communities, never finding a broader audience. In addition to his work as a painter and author, Angaiak is a proud family man and a source of great knowledge of his people and the changes they have faced over the years, shifting from a subsistence hunting, fishing, and sharing lifestyle to an increasingly urban influenced cash-based existence. An important statement on indigenous life and the human condition, I’m Lost in the City showcases Angaiak’s first hand perspective on this challenging transition, something that we can all learn a great deal from.

Free for a limited time, available worldwide @ Amazon

Description Goodness isn’t always its own reward…

For a time, Todd Coulter’s life was good and simple. Putting the war behind him, he married Sarah and together, they built themselves a working ranch.

But tragedy strikes when Todd’s young son is bitten by a rattlesnake and dies.

And then not long after, Sarah falls ill.

Todd tries to get the good Doctor Halbern from the local town of Clanton, but when they return, it’s too late. Sarah is dead.

His neighbour Mick Murphy once told him that bad luck comes in threes, and for Todd, that’s exactly right.

His third stroke of bad luck comes in the form of a storm, which destroys his ranch, killing all the steers and scaring any living ones away.

It’s all too much for Todd, but with all three times of bad luck out the way, maybe his life will be on the up…

And just like that, his old friend Hollis Clarke shows up in Clanton.

They were army buddies in the war; despite not having seen each other in years, they feel as close as ever.

And it’s not coincidence that Hollis has shown up – he’s needs a friend he can trust for something that, if all goes to plan, will make them rich men.

After the war, Hollis worked for the Mexican bandit, Escobar; fed up of doing the man’s dirty work, Hollis wants to backstab the bandit where it hurts; his money.

In the past, Todd would have said no to such a dirty scheme but not now. As far as Todd is concerned, he’s got nothing to lose.

And more importantly, the world owes him something; this is his payment for all the pain in his life.

However, it seems that bad luck doesn’t stop at three times.

They get the money, but Hollis is shot and Escobar is hot on their trail. And Hollis knows all too well Escobar isn’t one to give up when money’s involved.

And it’s not only Escobar that the money affects...

Can Todd trust his old friend not to run off with all the money?

A suspenseful and thrilling Western, Paytime For A Good Man is a classic tale of money, greed and paranoia.
