Guest's lyrics are correct, but I don't want this song to be hard to find on mudcat, so I will repost the lyrics here (wrong procedure?). Lyr. Add: BLUE OKANAGAN Ivan Reynolds Between the mighty Monashee and the Coast Range of B. C. Where the rivers flow like fountains, on their way out to the sea And the apple blossoms splendor in no other land is found For it's heaven, really heaven, when they're blooming all around. Chorus Blue water, blue sky, blue mountains so high Blue valleys and hills, blue rivers and rills Blue dreams in my heart, oh why did I part From the great Okanagan, so dear to my heart. See the lonesome river, slowly winding its way Just like the river, I'm leaving today I'm headin' back now, gonna feather my nest In the Okanagan Valley, pride of the West.

I remember this song well, but when I've gone back home (Penticton, B.C.) have asked others and no one even remembers that it ever existed. Thought maybe I was the only person left who knew it. |

It is attributed to Buddy Reynolds whom it turns out is Ivan Reynolds. There is a neat bio about the song below the sheet music. Happy New Year to you. BM |

02 Jan 14 - 01:32 AM (#3588260) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Blue Okanagan (Ivan Reynolds) From: Larry The Radio Guy It's apparently on a cd called: Buddy Reynolds - A Canadian Country Music Pioneer And I just emailed someone who might have a 78 rpm of it. I'll keep you informed. |

03 Jan 14 - 02:48 PM (#3588747) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Blue Okanagan (Ivan Reynolds) From: Larry The Radio Guy Thanks to Roy Forbes, I have an mp3 of Buddy Reynolds singing this song. Lots of echo.....but that was common to those Aragon 78's. Hope it works! Blue Okanagan by Buddy Reynolds |

03 Jan 14 - 03:10 PM (#3588757) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Blue Okanagan (Ivan Reynolds) From: GUEST,Larry the Radio Guy Hmmm.......doesn't seem to work. I'll try again. If it still doesn't work: Does anybody know how to send something that I have on my own computer on an mp3? Also a correction: The echo comes from the transfers made from 78rpm to lp.....so this was probably taken from an lp version. https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/u/0/?ui=2&ik=6bdfd2e706&view=att&th=143598e3cc9d7e29&attid=0.1&disp=safe&zw&saduie=AG9B_P8I-FDNGW7c_Pv2R-hrpMUP&sadet=1388779422727&sads=RUXGsl6aIsnG8UYsiFAvJ2Hx2LQ&sadssc=1 https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/u/0/?ui=2&ik=6bdfd2e706&view=att&th=143598e3cc9d7e29&attid=0.1&disp=saf |

09 Jan 14 - 10:19 PM (#3590535) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Blue Okanagan (Ivan Reynolds) From: Larry The Radio Guy Sure, humbug.....if there's a way you can get the Buddy Reynolds version of the song (that I tried to attach) onto mudcat (sorry I don't know the technology) that would be great. Q might appreciate it.......since s/he said he hadn't found an online copy. Others might too. I have a copy downloaded onto my computer. |

Very interesting. In my search I have found various websites with MP3s - not really great for our collection as we are collecting the sheet music and vinyls. |
