It was Ian Tyson’s 85th birthday last week, heard about it on KGHL radio.

We drove by “Deadman Creek” on the way to Kamloops from Williams lake (if you are not a fan, Tyson sings about went there riding colts when young.

I sat in seat 3B on my flight from Calgary to San Francisco.  The Visalia Stocksaddle Company was famous for the tree by that name.

i am working in Visalia, California tomorrow at the auction market.

With all those reminders how could I not feature this song.

Ian, thank you for all the great music and keeping it traditional.
