GUEST,Jaybegood Origins: Someday Soon (Ian Tyson) lyrics meaning (18) RE: 'Someday Soon' lyrics meaning 04 Oct 10


"If you don't like I&S's rendition, listen to Judy Collins'."
Just make sure it's from an early recording/or concert.

I saw her on TV not long ago and she had turned it into a "pop" song a la 1950's style with snapping fingers and messed up phrasing.

Took all the life out of it.

Lesson: Leave a good song the heck alone!

Personal note: When I moved to Louisiana in 1971 where I met my eventual wife, I had just turned 24, left the army after my ETS at Fort Carson Colorado in 1969.

I was a "budding" folksinger (Had a group in College and then two while in the army) mostly was doing singles where I could find an audience.

Except for the Rodeo Part (I was a salesman for Radio Shack) it was my story.

Her father, 37 years later, still doesn't like me!
