Indigenous in the News with Tom Bee (Musician) 12/31/2024
Dec. 29, 2024, 5:32 p.m.
Welcome to Indigenous in the News with Larry K and Gary Wilcox. On today's show, we’re honored to bring you one of the last interviews recorded with the late Tom Bee this past summer. It was a privilege to have him on the show and learn about his remarkable journey—from founding the Native band XIT, to initially managing the band before stepping into the role of lead singer. XIT made history as the first Native American band to sign with a major record label, and Tom’s extraordinary career later earned him two Grammy Awards. Tom’s life spanned 82 remarkable years, during which he touched the hearts of many with his kindness, wisdom, and love. A man of many talents and passions, he approached everything with a tireless work ethic and an unwavering dedication to excellence.
Tom was born on November 8, 1941, in Gallup, New Mexico, and who passed away on July 25, 2024, in Albuquerque, was a true legend. It was an honor to have him as a guest on my music show, Indigenous in Music, this past June. I’m grateful to share our interview with all of you.
Some of his numerous achievements include:
1) Winning two Grammy Awards.
2) Writing the song "(We've Got) Blue Skies" recorded by Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 which appeared on the worldwide hit album "Maybe tomorrow."
3) Coproducing and writing the song "Joyful Jukebox Music" for the Jackson 5.
4) Singing and writing the backing vocals for the song "Just My Soul Responding" for Smokey Robinson on his first solo album "Smokey."
5) Obtaining a writer, artist, and producer contract with Motown records which led to the internationally acclaimed albums "Plight of the Redman" and Silent Warrior" by Xit.
6) Writing the song "Red Hot," recorded by Taka Boom (sister of Chaka Khan) a top Billboard Disco Dance Chart hit.
7) Writing the song "Don't Be Two Faced," recorded by the top selling rockabilly artist Shakin' Stevens for his highly successful album "the Bop Won't Stop."
8) Working with legendary Producer Gary S. Paxton (Alley Oop by the Hollywood Argyles, Monster Mash by Bobby Boris Pickett, and Cherish by the Association).
9) Receiving the "Eagle Spirit Award" from the America Film Institute in San Francisco.
10) Receiving the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the First Americans in the Arts in Beverly Hills.
11) Receiving the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from Four Directions Entertainment in New York.
12) Being the recipient of the "Will Sampson Award" from the First Americans in the Arts.
13) Winning the "Producer of the Year Award" at the First Annual "Native American Music Awards" (NAMMY's).
14) Receiving of the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the "Native American Music Awards" (NAMMY's).
15) Having July 27, 2002 being proclaimed "Tom Bee Day" by Mayor Martin Chavez in recognition of Tom's accomplishments within the music industry as a recording artist, songwriter, record producer and multi-award winner.
16) Persuading NARAS to recognize the musical contributions of Native Americans by establishing a Native America category at the Grammy Awards.
17) Being CEO and founder of SOAR (Sound of America Records)
As we say goodbye to Tom, we take comfort in the memories he shared with us. He will live on in the hearts of all who knew him, and his spirit will continue to inspire us.

Sonic Café #415/One For The Gipper: The Humor of Ronald Reagan
Dec. 27, 2024, 10:34 p.m.
Sonic Café, from 1982 that’s ABC with the look of love, so hey welcome to the café, I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 415. This time the Sonic Café remembers the humor of Ronald Reagan who served as our 40th president from 1981-1989. Before politics, Reagan made 52 movies, including his portrayal of George Gipp in the movie Knute Rockne All American, which would be rejuvenated when reporters called Reagan “The Gipper” while he campaigned for the US presidency, a nickname that stuck for life. He was known for disarming situations with his sense of humor. We’ll spin and old 60 minutes piece about his humor, and we’ve scattered samples of his jokes throughout the show. Our music mix is a pure flashback to the 1980’s. Listen for Haircut 100, Blondie, The Pretenders, Robbie Dupree, The Cars, Gerry Rafferty, Duran Duran and of course many more as the Sonic Café presents the Gipper, the humor of Ronald Reagan from our little café way out here on the Oregon coast. Time to get Rick Rolled, here’s Rick Astley, Never Gonna Give You Up from 1982, and we’re the Sonic Café.

I am retiring this show and so this will be the last Thunderbolt to ever strike the airwaves — and I have put together a show featuring all the best Thunderbolts from 2013 and 2014 — the first two years and, frankly, the best two years in the history of this show.
It has been my very great honour and pleasure to produce this show for all these years, and I hope that maybe a few of you maybe learned a few valuable things whilst simultaneously being entertained.
So enjoy the show — and then I bid you adieu…

WWI - The Christmas Truce of 1914 - TUC Archive for 2024
Dec. 24, 2024, 11:19 p.m.
The Christmas Truce was an unofficial cease-fire on parts of the Western Front. Guns fell silent for one to several days. Soldiers emerged from the trenches and talked, exchanged gifts and kicked around a soccer ball. Trenches were close in some places, separated by 50 yards or less.
The Story of the Christmas Truce WWI is a documentary film about this spontaneous cease-fire. Thanks to historians Peter Hart, Taff Gillingham and Robin Schaefer, and their choice of rare documentary photos, footage and archived letters from soldiers of both sides.
This archival TUC Radio program first went into distribution on December 13, 2022. By coincidence on the same day that nearly 1,000 faith leaders called for a temporary ceasefire in the War in Ukraine. They wrote that a Christmas Truce can offer an opportunity for moral clarity and could be the first step toward a negotiated peace.

The first half of today’s show sees us discussing Gov. Mike Parson of Missouri and his decision-making discrepancies when it comes to a case of pardoning a White officer convicted of wrongfully killing a Black man, and failing to pardon a Black inmate on death row with considerable doubt cast on his case. We connect the idea of White supremacist institutions to this governor to better illustrate the concept for those who deny that White supremacy exists.
The second half of the show we discuss Luigi Mangione and how the criminal justice system can often expend a ‘benefit-of-the-doubt’ to felonious White actors, how that breaks down when class is introduced into the equation, and how infrequently such grace is extended to Black and Brown individuals.
Our Way Black History Fact discusses Universal Oil, Gas, and Mining—the country’s first Black-owned oil company.
Dec. 23, 2024, 8:39 p.m.
What do you get when you mix a land-surveying farm kid, a reluctant revolutionary, and a no-nonsense general with a knack for leading a country itching to implode? George Washington, of course! In this episode of The Buck Starts Here, Kyle and Eric unravel the myth and the man behind the powdered wig. From his scrappy beginnings on a small farm to becoming the glue that held a fledgling nation together, Washington’s story is packed with grit, genius, and just the right amount of drama to keep you hooked.
But Washington’s story isn’t all battles and glory. The hosts examine his economic struggles as a farmer, his decision to leave the military for civilian life, and the mounting discontent with Britain that sowed the seeds of revolution. They also reveal the real challenges he faced as a leader with no party backing, tasked with holding together a young nation on the brink of collapse.
Kyle and Eric mix history with sharp insights and a dash of irreverence to unpack how Washington’s leadership style—marked by humility and a focus on service—shaped the presidency and set traditions still in place today.

They discuss the challenges of balancing user privacy with the convenience offered by modern technology, and the positive feedback Sanctum AI has received from users. Additionally, Christian talks about forming a distributed team amid the crisis in Ukraine, the importance of prompt engineering in AI, and collaborating with Nvidia for fine-tuning AI models for specific applications. The conversation emphasizes the potential of AI in various fields while also cautioning against its limitations, particularly in critical areas like medical diagnosis.
