@SonofaGeorge Wife and I met at a Lightfoot concert in 1973 in DAR Constitution hall in DC. His passage is, in a way, a passage for us, too.

@cardamomaddict included old cowboy music in his repertoire. Leavin’ Cheyenne, whoopee ti yo yo. is absolutely correct regarding Tyson’s legacy. Also, Corb is great as well!

Jumped when I had the chance to see Tyson perform at Berkeley's Freight & Salvage in May 2010. Tyson's vocal range had been compromised by illness and overexertion in years prior but he and his band put on a memorable show and he was sitting at the merch table afterward to sign autographs and chat with fans. I remember sensing his utter exhaustion when our eyes met – he would've been 77 then – but he seemed a patient, perfect gentlemen. Really glad I did not stay home that night.

When I taught/team-taught mapping I'd incorporate music & cinema. Johnny Cash's Four Strong Winds had replaced Neil Young's since geography always looms large for Cash. Especially drawn to this song's mix of the day to day–crossing a continent ISO work–and the classically eternal: Four Winds, Seven Seas … Ptolemy's Cosmographia. I wanted to know more about its author, (re)discovered Ian Tyson, and went deep into Ian & Sylva with the four CD Complete Vanguard Studio Recordings.

Sorry to hear Ian Tyson passed away. Here’s David Bromberg doing the Tyson song “Summer Wages.”

Ian Tyson was our lead story on @CTVNationalNews@twitter.com last night. Anchor @JoyCTV@twitter.com insisted on it and I’m glad she did. Then to close the show @HeatherButtsCTV@twitter.com and @chriscarota@twitter.com put together this beautiful tribute. Canada’s prairie poet. twitter.com/thatericalper/stat

Think I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends
that I can go to workin' for
Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through that
100 times or more

🌬🌬🌬🌬 that blow lonely
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 that run high
All those things that don't change
come what may
But our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you
if I'm ever back this way

So long
and thanks for the songs.

While Ian Tyson's 'Four Strong Winds' has a special place in many Canadian hearts, including mine, the pictures he paints in his gentle, 'Short Grass', capture southern Alberta and a way of life. to a Canadian folk legend.

With my Canadian dad and his family (plus some of my mom's) in Montreal, I was introduced to Ian and Sylvia as a child with this song. Rest in peace, Ian Tyson.
