Subject: ADD: Cottonwood Canyon (Ian Tyson) From: Joe Offer Date: 09 Jan 23 - 04:06 PM I'll have to clean this up later. COTTONWOOD CANYON (Ian Tyson) Tonight I hear the call of Cottonwood Canyon Listen, you can hear it on the wind Red tail hawk makin' circles High above the canyon walls Where I slept in the sand far below Down where the clear waters flow There ain't no cell phone towers in Cottonwood Canyon Maybe some old coyote will give you a call The cottonwood tree she sings to me Songs of long ago And I slept in the sand down below Down where the clear waters flow Can I find my way back to Cottonwood Canyon? Have the drillers come? Have I waited too long? The cottonwood tree she cries to me Make 'em leave it in the ground And we'll sleep in the sand far below Down where the clear waters flow Down where the clear waters flow |

Subject: RE: Obituary: Ian Tyson (1933-2022) From: GUEST,Jerome Clark Date: 31 Dec 22 - 10:18 AM Always among my favorite folk musicians, Ian Tyson was an artist in the ballad tradition, writing modern songs that felt timeless, something only a specially gifted performer can do. Beyond that, he was a distinctive figure who had one foot in the revival, the other among the folk who comprise the ranching and rural culture of the North American West. No one will ever replace him. However inevitable it may have been, his passing breaks my heart. |
Subject: RE: Obituary: Ian Tyson (1933-2022) From: Rex Date: 30 Dec 22 - 05:01 PM The obits are saying how Ian lost his voice. But they don't say that later he got it back through surgery. I last saw him perform about ten years ago and his voice sounded like it used to. I talked to him after the show and asked how it happened. He gave credit to a surgeon and said it was a miracle. I agreed. |
Subject: RE: Obituary: Ian Tyson (1933-2022) From: GUEST,henryp Date: 30 Dec 22 - 03:29 PM Someday Soon - The lyrics are largely based on his romance with Sylvia Fricker. Her father, William, was not happy to see his daughter going out with this former rodeo rider. My parents cannot stand him 'cause he works the rodeos They say, "He's not your kind, he'll leave you cryin'" If he asks, I'll follow him down the toughest row to hoe Someday soon goin' with him, someday soon When he visits me, my Pa ain't got one good word to say Got a hunch he was as wild back in the early days |
Subject: RE: Obituary: Ian Tyson (1933-2022) From: Rex Date: 30 Dec 22 - 01:44 PM I sure liked what he and Sylvia did. Then when he went out on his own it got more interesting. He took the cowboy songs back to the bone and made them more real, not only the old classics but his own. |
