The Brule Chronicles-Total Eclipse of the Sun

This episode marks the beginning of our series, 'Hidden Heritage: The Brulé Chronicles'. The podcast celebrates the unique heritage of a man who was adopted at birth and removed from the Native American reservation system. Our host reveals his remarkable story, from his upbringing in Minnesota to discovering hidden adoption papers after the loss of his adoptive parents and eventually being reunited with his Lakota biological family.

Alongside this personal journey, we also delve into the origin and inspiration of Brulé, which has left many curious about our host's role in this world. Unveiling his self-proclaimed title as a 'Tunesmith', he shares a glimpse into the humble, yet fulfilling life that merges music and poetry, and its influence on every step of his journey.

This series also resurrects the nostalgically rich music project 'Towards the Sun', symbolizing a story that remained untold for 38 years. Born from a collaboration between our host and fellow musician Jerry, the album remains a testament to their companionship and shared aim to fuse the analog and the digital world of music through their cutting-edge MIDI studio, existing during the inspiring era of Minneapolis' music scene represented by legendary names like Prince and Yanni.

As the Brulé Chronicles unfold, listeners are taken on a cosmic journey inspired by the mystical Greek goddess Eos, culminating in the exploration of a solar eclipse planned for 2024. Bringing the journey full circle, our host reflects on the lessons embedded in each track of 'Towards the Sun', taking listeners along the path of ancient civilizations' fascination and reverence for the sun.
