Music from when I was a toddler

I was discussing the old folk duo, 'Ian and Sylvia' with Cindy this afternoon. Ian and Sylvia were a husband and wife folk music duo from Canada. Ian wrote some amazing songs back in the 50's and 60's, which were covered by a lot of singers, both folk, country and rock singers. I got on Amazon and listened to some cuts from their music and realized that I didn't really remember much of their own versions of these songs. I then listened to Peter, Paul and Mary and realized that I was more familiar with their versions of their songs than the originals. The harmonies of Peter, Paul and Mary were amazing.

Sadly, Ian and Sylvia broke up after they divorced. At that point, Ian Tyson apparently went back to Alberta, bought a ranch and became a cowboy. He has continued to record, but most of his albums seem to have a cowboy motif to match his newer employment.

I listened to his songs and his voice is not what it once was (whose is?) but it was fun to listen to this great songwriter who gave us a ton of good songs back in the day, when I was a toddler.
