Tyson's new CD is great... "From Yellowhead to Yellowstone" he blew out his voice a couple of years ago and is raspy now.... but loads of character and fine songs...

The Metis... well, they had a hard time for a long time... not full blood, not white.... fought a war of resistance in present day Saskatchewan in the 1880's... lost at Batoche... Louis Riel was hanged for treason... although he is one of the founding fathers of the country (Manitoba)... we're still waiting for him to be pardoned.. they finally took the hanging rope out of the RCMP museum in Regina due to public pressure... I'd recommend listening to Laura Langstaff or Willie Dunn for a feeling of Metis.... also Calvin Volrath the fiddler.. a proud culture coming back strong.... I was given a beautiful sash a few years ago and am honoured to have it....
