Gary Farmer and the Troublemakers would like to remember and dedicate a spot to Floyd Westermen in the memory of the VFW show in 2006. For some of us it is the first and last time we would play music with such a man.

Gary Farmer
Longtime actor and musician, Gary Farmer plays the harmonica and vocals with his band the Troublemakers who work hard at being a growing concern and loving it. "Been playing the harp since college", but this album is Farmer's first ever CD release, "Love Songs and Other Issues" after playing for 33 years. The album is full of standard blues songs from the likes of BB King, Howlin' Wolf, Etta James, Jesse Ed Davis, Taj Mahal and Freddie King. "I always bragged about wrecking people's songs but now it's for real and I love it.". After a substantial career as an actor, filmmaker and cultural activist especially in the area of communications infrastructure for Native peoples and their communities-- whether rural or urban. The challenges took a toll but happy to report it's on the air, www.aboriginalradio.com. I have been a long-time supporter of public radio, especially in and around Indian communities world wide--it's the best way to take back control of our own lives after years of colonial oppression and genocide. Entertaining content that furthers the prosperity of indigneous people worldwide. But in the end, love is the answer.
Gary currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico
