Ian and Sylvia.c. 1964. Ian wrote this song. Internet photo.
Ian and Sylvia were a folk and country singing duo from Canada. In the mid-60’s they were part of the Greenwich Village folk scene that included Bob Dylan, Peter/Paul/Mary, Phil Ochs and many others. This song “Four Strong Winds” was their first hit. PBS ran a documentary about that period in music history.
“..but our good times are all gone..”
It was a time of turmoil including the Civil Rights struggles and the Vietnam War.
Thanks Paul. Its been a long time since I heard that song and it’s one of my favorites.
