Recently my wife and I have taken to watching When Calls the Heart on Netflix.

Set in western Canada, I started to think about Ian Tyson and a song of his started running through my mind. I might have the vinyl, but I haven't checked. I tended to buy albums from the same artist(s), and so I have several Ian & Sylvia's in my collection.
A few moments into an Internet search reminded me that the song, Stories He'd Tell from "Full Circle", released in 1968. I cannot find the lyrics separately, but Tyson's poetic gifts are clearly evident, first the song, and then a recent article about Tyson, one of Canada's national treasures. He is an authentic cowboy, poet, songwriter, and huitarist. I remember seecing his 30-minute TV show in syndication when I was at Penn State. One episode featured the late Jim Ed Brown, whom we saw at the Grand Ole Opry a few years ago.
