Chinook Changer Song

[David D. Robertson]

You can hear Bruce Subiyay Miller singing the Chinook Changer song here:

Check the book mentioned just below if you want to read the lyrics.  I've
got them photocopied somewhere but can't dig them out right now.  (I'm in
the middle of writing a paper.  Sorry.)

Cheers,
