~ IAN AND SYLVIA TYSON ~ Someday Soon

~ SOMEDAY SOON ~ written by Ian Tyson.

"In his teens Ian Tyson decided upon a career as a rodeo rider. Recovering from a fall in the mid 1950s he started learning guitar. Ian started playing clubs and coffeehouses in Toronto and by 1959 he was performing music as a full-time occupation. Sylvia, still in her teens started frequenting the folk clubs of Toronto. By 1959, they started performing together." But it was Judy Collins that popularized Tyson`s song.

Ian Tyson and Gordon Lightfoot wrote some of the best music of the 60s.

Loved the duo, the song & the bra-less '60's.

that's weird - that's 1 of the songs that I never have in the setlist. BUT if someone asks me to sing it I know it word and chord perfect. Though it's 40 years since I learnt it. Songs I learned last week - I need the print out!!!

@Paulsdottir David Rea was probably a teenager at the time that photo was taken. That,s Eric Hoard in the photo. Eric was their accompanist when I first saw them at the 1961 Mariposa Folk Festival in Orillia, Ontario.

This is great, thank you! Is that David Rea on acoustic guitar in the photo/audio?

From the earliest of his songs you can taste the cowboy flavour. What a body of work.

Not bad for a guy whose first song (Four Strong Winds) was his crowning achievement.

@busterbobby I'm with you. Ian, especially, has such an amazing voice -- one of the greatest.
