Someday Soon - Tara Dunphy, song by Ian Tyson

[@williamboyd8146]

Tara, This is for you , My daddy was born Sept 13, 1935. Born on the Boyd Place, In North Texas, The Original Boyds traveled from the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee to settle in North Texas. The Mandolin and the Fiddle was King.Families got together and simply played for their entertainment over a meal. Pop played a fiddle all his life and all the way up to his near 90's I'm pretty sure he wishes he had your talent, that talent that makes that fiddle talk to the song, well done Tara. Thank You!

[@williamgarcia2025]

Beautiful voice 👍 RIP Mr. Tyson..

[@mga2899]

[@TaraDunphy]

Thank you!

Remarkable voice, Here. Robin Witting England

[@markmacdonald8512]

Tara, my favorite of this song is Suzy Bogguss's. I've listened to a lot of covers of it and I would say that for me yours is right up there at the top. Great job and you have a very good voice.

[@dorisporis8]

Wow! So wonderful- that lonely fiddle . . .

[@direwolf6234]

have always loved this song so i changed the words for a boy/man .. 'there's a young girl that i know her age is twenty-four, comes from down in southern colorado .. all done with her schooling and she's wanting something more, someday soon she'll be with me someday soon ..'

[@AC5SH]

Beautiful :)

[@williamboyd8146]

Play for me please Tara.........so original,,, so you!

[@wtam69]

[@johnvickers450]

One of the better versions of this great song!

[@MsFichter]

Great ❤

[@austinteutsch]

Now this lady ia a true musician with a very nice voice.

[@davelamont2408]

Good job, Ms. Dunphy. Such a loss, Ian Tyson, but what a repertoire he left us.

[@TaraDunphy]

He'll live forever through his songs!

[@brucesheehe6305]

Dang, that is great.

[@1bassman9]

I am so used this song in the key of G by playing it in bands for many years, but I must say, even in the key of E, you won me over with your incredible vocals ! Bravo !!!

[@direwolf6234]

sometimes the hardest thing is finding your key .. she done good ..

[@selahchunem8447]

One of my favorite folk songs esp Judy Collins version. My daughter prefers the Suzzy Boggus rendition. Either way unforgetable contribution to folk music by Ian Tyson. Your performance extremely heart felt and touching. Violin lovely! Happy to see the use of bar chords😊

[@goofyjohn6191]

Fabulous

[@ThatCreditGuy1]

Unique version, right next to Suzy Boggus’s version in my view. Tara, great vocals, nice work on the instrumentals as well. Well done!

[@d3m7o60]

beautiful

[@glenhartley154]

Ian said in an interview at the Edmonton Folk Fest a few years that the music will stand the test of time, but today's country music probably will not....he was so Right..this one is a great fresh version of his classic....

[@TaraDunphy]

He knew what he was talking about for sure. Thanks so much for listening, Glen!

[@williamburbage5774]

A beautiful rendition of a very favourite song of mine. Up there with the Judy Collins version.👏👏

[@JeffPremke]

Tara, I love your powerful voice and how you can go from belting it out to soft and sweet. What a talent. Thanks Jeff from Wisconsin.

[@TaraDunphy]

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate your kind words :)

[@jeanneh6361]

Beautiful.

[@scottmartin1845]

Bravo…well done, subtle version.

[@markpalsgrove902]

Best I ever heard Tara. Suzy Bogguss, did it great, with all you put into it, guitar and violin, I listened to it many times. Well done. Thank you Tara!

[@TaraDunphy]

Thank you so much Mark!

[@ruthcazaly36]

Wow, that's beautiful Tara, thank you!!!

[@guitarjeff55]

I can hear this. Nice work

[@peterlawrence6079]

Very nice! I've listened to many covers of this song, as well as the Tysons with their original version, and they're ALL good. By the way, and Ive never heard anyone say it before, the father in this song is probably right about the young man. I think he may well leave the daughter crying. There is nothing in the song suggesting why the 21-year-old boyfriend "just out of the service, looking for his fun" is such a prize ...

[@secretagent86]

Earned my sub 👏👏👏🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@TaraDunphy]

Thank you!

[@michaelflorida56]

Wow! you are awesome Tara, love your voice and your playing, I'm in love

[@henryestevez9145]

Wow ... wow!! Awesome rendition of this song. Had forgotten that Ian Tyson wrote it. Thank you so much. Love it. You are terrific on both guitar and fiddle. Wow!

[@TaraDunphy]

well, Wow right back. Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate that and how about that Ian Tyson - what a songwriter!

[@lamars2486]

I have been trying to find my way back here ... just wanted to say, best cover outside of judy collins i have heard, and i have heard a lot of covers ... perfect ... thanks for this❤

[@REBEC65]

J’adore🎉🎉🎉

[@williamboyd8146]

Play for me please..........Tara...........🙂 Thank you again...and again and again....

[@paulschut5873]

A great rendition of one of my favorite songs. Beautiful playing and crystal clear vocal.

[@vicshepherd7142]

I went to see Judy Collins in Lafayette a couple of years ago, It was an opportunity to see her live I could not pass on. she was in great voice (80yrs ), and gave a very warm vibe to her mostly boomer crowd. The model of professionalism, as Her guitar got mishandled at the airport and did not make it to the gig. She had to sing with only her pianist backing her , reeling off hit after hit while telling stories of her personal and musical triumphs and failures.. However, I and many of the attendees were a little let down that she left this one out. So, thanks, your version.. brings back the same feeling from my folkie days in the 60's. What a great song.

[@johnjennings9693]

Beautiful hello from ireland,

[@MonkeylessJohn]

Simply beautiful!!! Loved everything about this 🤗

[@calgaryjammers4821]

Beautiful cover of one of Ian's best

[@ForestMyths]

Again, great cover. And what a blast from the past. I love this song. And your fiddle on it is just perfect. Listening to this, it makes me want to find my old recordings of Phil Ochs and go back and play songs like "Changes." I haven't sang and played that since I was a kid.

[@nmelkhunter1]

Great voice, and the fiddle gives it a special sound. I know Ian Tyson, god rest his soul, would appreciate your talent. Here’s to your future. 🍻

[@TaraDunphy]

Thank you so much!

[@michaelevans205]

I'm no musician so all I can say is, lovely version of one of my favourite songs. Thank you and greetings from the UK.

[@mikemcnevin1785]

The absolutely best cover of this song I think I've ever heard. Very nicely done, young lady! Very, very nice! and WOW, your fiddle playing is beautiful!

[@TaraDunphy]

Thank you so much Mike!

[@markbackus1449]

Beautiful rendition.

[@johnhawkins9826]

Great version of the legend that is Ian Tyson

[@johnhawkins9826]

Hi Tara - I love Ian's stuff, it's brilliant - Also the sadly late Nanci Griffith's recordings and vids - Do you sing Nanci at all? - John H

[@TaraDunphy]

I never have, what’s a song I should attempt?

[@luciaglavas]

Very talented Lady. I sing this in the original key, but I have enjoyed this lovely acoustic version with the fiddle. Love it :)

[@taylormedia1000]

The simplicity of the track and the way your voice floats above the surface is a joy to listen to.

[@TaraDunphy]

Thank you David!

[@Stomo1709]

Wow! Voice, guitar and that fiddle, I enjoy this so much this is my third time listening to you.

[@williamboyd8146]

So well done, Beautiful Doll 🙂

[@TaraDunphy]

Thank you!

[@randallwolf3184]

very nice Tara great voice .

[@missbritt288]

Good job 👍

[@libertyann439]

Great job on one of my favorites!

[@allendennisonmd8534]

Beside, your lovely voice, there is the sweet violin instrumental ornamenting but not stepping on the vocal. Is that your own arrangement? You clearly practiced your “variations” learning classical violin. Enchanting!

[@TaraDunphy]

Hi Allen, that's just what I came up with in the moment. Trying not to get in the way of the vocal is key, something so important for a backing instrumentalist to keep in mind. The space is just as important as the notes!

[@Swampzoid]

Beautifully performed. One of my all time favorite songs.

[@Mo_Taser]

Nice cover. I grew up in Alberta and the west coast of BC and Summer Wages is another favourite of mine.

[@TaraDunphy]

I absolutely love Summer Wages. I just recently saw Steve Earle perform and he closed the show with a lovely cover of it.

[@Mo_Taser]

@@TaraDunphy There used to be a video here on YT of him doing Summer Wages at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver. I think it's had a regular place in his setlist for a long time. This is an excerpt from a post I made on Ian Tyson's Facebook page shortly after he died. There were no cities nearby or even any moderately sized towns. We were about 10 miles west of the small town of Caroline in the unincorporated Clearwater-Ricinus area of Western Alberta. We were out of the range of any radio stations, or so I initially thought. On my shitty little transistor radio, and possibly because of some weird atmospheric goings on or because of a fissure in the spacetime continuum, although I couldn't get any stations from Red Deer or Rocky Mountain House only 50 miles away, I could though get a few from Texas and the American Deep South over 2,000 miles away. I would sometimes hear, emanating from a city in Texas and then bouncing off the Earth's upper atmosphere, a song called "Someday Soon", written by Ian Tyson and performed by Judy Collins. I hadn't even hit puberty yet but I would romanticize the shit out of that song, and I knew that someday I wanted a girl to feel about me the same way the girl in "Someday Soon" felt about her boyfriend. I wanted to be the guy romanticized in that song. Even at that young age, I knew I must make that happen. Then, a year or two later, I again heard magic emanating from the American Deep South. This new song linked up with my psyche on a primal level that was well beyond my biological age, and it took me on a journey to the Pacific Ocean and the forests of British Columbia where I would live much of my life in the future. I heard what is still in my opinion one of the greatest songs about Canada ever written-Summer Wages, again, written by Ian Tyson. As a kid I couldn't believe that a Canadian was on the radio and singing about the city I loved-Vancouver-and singing about it from the sweltering heat in the heart of Texas and about the same things I already loved but would grow to love so much more as I grew older-the forests of British Columbia, the oceans, and of Vancouver itself. Many years later, that same song would take on a much deeper meaning for me, when on the ocean and amidst the "big stands of timber" which still gaze over the shorelines of Tofino Inlet today, I lost a friend to the stormy seas there. He would play Summer Wages on his guitar. But alas, that is a tale for another time. Rest in peace, big man.

[@uhdudewhy7980]

Great job. Enjoyed. I couldn't help but notice that all the chords you play are also the chords used in America's song "Sister Golden Hair." I wonder if "Someday Soon" influenced America while they wrote "Sister Golden Hair." lol

[@TaraDunphy]

That's certainly possible - it wouldn't be the first time! I'm not familiar with that song so I'm going to look it up and compare. Thanks for listening!
