On the road for the next few days, through the Kootenays and Nelson -- my favorite small town in all of North America -- on the way to Banff, Alberta (above) and a paper presentation at the Walter Phillips Gallery. Updates from the road (but no pictures) as wireless access allows. Back soon.

Four Strong Winds
Words and music by Ian Tyson

Four strong winds that blow slowly
Seven seas that run high
All these things that don't change come what may
Now our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

Guess I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
Got some friends that I can go to workin' for
Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more.

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All these things that don't change come what may
Now our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

If I get there before the snow flies
and if things are going good
You could meet me if I send you down the fare
But by then it would be winter
Nothing much for you to do
And the wind sure blows cold way out there.

Four strong winds that blow slowly
Seven seas that run high
All these things that don't change come what may
Now our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for movin' on.

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
Yes, I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
