It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.

People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.

And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.

If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

I hope that in the other universe we're not a blond&black hair duo in the US during 80's in which one desperately wants to protect the other hates the social distributions and wishes to escape the world of cruelty and live as plain normal people

hi hi hi have some thoughts abt the sillies!!! (my hate poly, but only Calihoma today)

California and Oklahoma became friendly around two times, dust bowl, and Wild West. but still previously knew each other! They were originally friends during the Wild West era.

they became friends through a mutual friend, and hit it off pretty well. California would come by to the farm Oklahoma worked at and vice versa, they’d talk about life and stuff, and get each other small silly gifts from time to time.

Luke Combs - Fathers & Sons

#CountryMusic

So today on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I will like to talk about the latest album from Country Music Superstar Luke Combs. The new project is titled "Fathers & Sons" and was released on Friday June 14th, 2024. There are 12 tracks on CDs, but before we dive too far off tracks. Let's talk about Luke's career for a bit.

Luke has had major success on all the charts including mine MSR (Midnight Star Report). The MSR combines both CMT (Country Music Television), the Billboard Country Music Airplay Charts, & even myself. Luke has scored 15 number ones on my weekly list. Luke has had huge hits like "Fast car", "Beautiful crazy", & "Where the wild things are". And other hits you may remember are "When it rains it pours", "Ain't no love in Oklahoma", & "One number away". Now before we go too much off, let's jump back into the new album.

Amazon got this album 3 months later. Luke Combs had a hand in co-writting 9 out of 12 tracks. And he also had help from Luke Bryan, & Rhett Akins. No lead single from this project. Songs you should check out are "In case I ain't around", "Huntin' by yourself", & "Remember him that way". And other songs include "The man he sees in me", "All I ever do is leave", & "Ride around Heaven". The stand out songs in my opinion include "Whoever you turn out to be", "My old man was right", & "Take me out to the ballgame". Here is the track list now.

Track list.

Front door famous.

In case I ain't around.

Huntin' by yourself.

Little Country boys.

Whoever you turn out to be.

Remember him that way.

The man he sees in me.

All I ever do is leave.

Plant a seed.

Ride around Heaven.

My old man was right.

Take me out to the ballgame.

And that's a wrap for the track list. And on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would give this album a 4.5 out of 5 stars. There are standout tracks, but it didn't seem to be as many tracks as usual Luke Combs Albums. But it a good album if you are a Country Music fan or a Luke Combs, you should pick this up. Thanks for taking the time to read this review. See ya all next time.
