The iconic Ian Tyson song. Key of C , without slides, hammer-ons, or pulloffs - to get banjo students learning to emphasize certain melody notes.

Tongue-in-cheek Chuck... what we really NEED is an easy 
TAB for this ol' bluegrass classic: saskatoonukulele.com/wp-conten...e-Sky.pdf
IF I was aware of it at one time, I'd forgotten. A lady sang it at a jam (?) yesterday. It went as well as could be expected.

I expect you know that the detail/nuance/etc. of music [along with lots of the basic stuff] apparently skipped [part of] my generation in our family. I didn't hear anyone mention the B.M. detail, though 'twould be pretty hard to get through a weekend without playing several (?) that had his influence on 'em, no?
Do you have any ideas how they could/should/?? have erected a model (?) of a postoffice as a "roadside attraction" to draw in the passing throngs? It's close to the intersection of Hwy 2 and 34 .... from the campgrounds you can see a couple of miles east along #2 .... as far as we could tell at any given time there seemed to be vehicles in sight ... maybe 1 or 2, maybe a dozen... I think (?) the traffic count would be surprisingly high. There was a collision at the intersection [Friday evening I think] ... we heard the "bang" (?) at the campground a short 1/2 mile distant [that's 1 Km just for you Chuck 
], but nothing "registered" 'til the emergency vehicles started arriving minutes later. [Can't find any media coverage, so I assume it's probably categorized as "It could have been worse."]

I saw the windmill okay, but, but, but, both coming and going, I missed "Sara." 
mhs.mb.ca/docs/sites/sarathecamel.shtml My wife saw her ... said she's a bit obscured by nearby "stuff." And anyway, in my defense I was looking north on Hwy. 5 to check on its condition .... last time we went north there [last year?], it was bad.
And, there's NO! *^&%$IN!! RUMBLE!!! STRIPS!!!! on 34 where it crosses #2. The might not have been beneficial in Friday's specific accident, but speaking generally, apparently our man Wab has better ways to reduce driver inattention in similar locations.

I guess it's possible that news coverage has been accurate, but the quick success in the first search and nada in the second makes me "wonder."
But then again, I "wonder" about quite a few things.

So obviously, back to Four Strong Winds ,, I remember reading on the back of one of Ian & Sylvia's album covers that Ian was influenced by the high Kentucky singing of some from that area, but without mention of Monroe. Yet the their vocals on this tune wasn't in that range at all. Which leads me to ask this question : were you aware of any Canadian songs or fiddle tunes at the Holland shindig ?

That ^^ would fall into "detail/nuance/??" that I wouldn't realize unless it was announced, and none comes to mind now.
But, but, but, a pretty accomplished fiddler that we'd met previously stopped by our site to say "Hi" and then suggested we jam (?) a bit. Apparently she could follow my 3,2,4,1/3,2,4,1/3,2,4,1/etc. well enough that my wife said it sounded okay.
