Re: Ian Tyson
I don't think I've ever seen a package of joy and sorrow all together as one like this Char.
It's very overwhelming. I recently saw Ian being interviewed on CBC and he talked about what happened with his voice, even did a vocal exercise to describe it in the raw. He bared his soul pretty much.
The high end of his register is still there in it's true "Four Strong Wind" clarity but the lower end has gone all raspy and he did say it's was due to a virus. Very sad indeed.
His mark is engraved deep in the culture of great Canadian singer songwriters and he's a living legend among us still so at least we can be thankful for that.
Saddle on there Ian.
RJ.
