Gary Smith is looked upon in the mountain West as a kind of Renaissance man: mountaineer, folksinger, writer, and photographer, advocate and champion of the Canyonlands of Utah where he makes his home. Windsinger is Gary Smith's memoir, and something more. Accompanied by his photographs and lyrics, Smith's narrative ranges wide and deep. Through a farm outside Payette, Idaho; Utah's Robbers Roost and canyonlands; Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands in the Pacific; the American South and Southwest - scenes of his life's significant encounters and the wellspring of his music. Smith sets down a loving picture of the peoples and landscapes among which he has moved. The songs and tales transmit, powerfully and unsentimentally, the record of a life rooted in the earth, the testament of a man who has spent his best years in the wilderness heartland. It reaches beyond simple experience to realize a form of "spiritual ecology." Includes the words and sheet music to Color Crayon Morning, Something Big, Windsinger, Dick's Song, and The Red Tail.
