Thank you, Michele. I'm the pianist for the Mass in Mescalero and I'm still shocked that it was literally taken under cover of the night. I had just finished a short film before it's dissppearance, ironically about Buffy Sainte-Marie. It was just discovered that the 60's folk singer was pretending to be Native American her entire career. The film here on my uTube channel, _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_ is called:
"Buffy Sainte-Marie: The lie that was never told."
