In 1911 our grandfather came west from Ontario on a "harvester's special". He got off at Fort Walsh, where he found work as a cook and cowboy. We've lived in and loved Alberta ever since. Jewel of the Canadian West is an occasionally updated blog about Southwestern Alberta's people and places. The best corner of the best province in the best country in the world, I like to say. Welcome to The Jewel of The Canadian West!

And Now For a Change of Tune ...

Tim Hus could be Canada's Dwight Yoakim. But that's not fair to Tim; it could be that Dwight Yoakim is America's Tim Hus. Last night was a musical milestone for Stella's and for us - the first time we've tapped our toes in a long while until we just had to get up and dance. Tim's music just won't let you sit there. Ably backed up by his fine band, The Rocky Mountain Two, Tim's unique voice and solid stage presence show a professionalism rarely seen in more well-known acts and venues. Close your eyes and there was enough Texas Swing to take you back anywhere you wanted to go. A little Merle Haggard, a little Buck Owens, and a whole lot of Tim - one of Canada's best young song writers. Catch these guys if they're in your neighbourhood, and don't forget your dancin' boots!  Follow this link for more.
