Hi folks:

Now I want to spend a few minutes chatting about One of  MY

most favourite Singers, Who died December 29 age 89

His Name  was Ian Tyson, He was a Canadian Cowboy Singer.

I first heard Ian Tyson sing early in the 1960s: on a record 

when He sang with his Wife Sylvia. Four Strong Winds.

I Liked it and began to watch out for further recordings:  

And then  I found “Spring Time In Alberta”

Which still is One of My Top Favourite ever Recordings.

Do a bit of research on YOU TUBE  on Ian Tyson,   He was Great 

Put In:

Springtime in Alberta 3.51    

Oh What a Great Song, sung by a Great Singer. 

Then did a bit of searching ; and found a recording, 

of 2 young people that made a “Street recording” of a song
