A sadly tired Mr. Van Zandt, greatest of all singer songwriters. Thank you.

Interesting to compare Ian Tyson in this period with the Elko concert from 2008 What a huge talent this man is in the world of cowboys and the old West - For me a true superstar without the ego

The fiddle player is from Sask. Forget the name. ??

It's Calvin Vollrath. He lives in Saint Paul, Alberta but has worked and taught much fiddle in SK.
