About six years ago my stepson michael got to go on a kinda wish hunt and got to share a week at a lodge in the up deer hunting with ron. My dad three other hunters along with ron's wife hunted shared camp and michaels mom and I went to be apart of it.
     Each night and morning we listened to stories from ron and others and Michael shared a blind one night with ron. Ron also drove us to shrew haven one after noon to show us around.
     One night ron read a poem to the whole group at dinner. If you have never met ron all I can say is he has a voice that goes straight to your soul. Ever since then when ever I read a post of his I kinda chuckle because I hear his voice in every word . He didn't get to hear his singing voice though many next time. Ron is definitely a very talented man.
     Thanks ron for.

Mr. LaClair is THE MAN! I recently wrote him a letter telling him how much my son and I enjoyed watching his youtube videos, and he responded with a great picture of himself and a buck in a canoe with a snowy background (AWESOME PIC!)and even wrote my son a hand-written personal message! All of this in addition to a hand-written note to me as well. He's a great guy, and is obviously multi-talented! A great Traditional roll-model for sure.

The lyrics are very cool indeed. The melody of the verse reminds me of "Streets of Laredo (Cowboy's Lament) but it changes up by using a different melody for the chorus. Of course, the melody of "Streets of Laredo" wasn't original to that song either. They say it was handed down from an old English folk ballad. I think that may be the real common thread because Ron LaClair probably "channels" his music directly from the longbowmen of olden days.

Very interesting man.

Thanks all, I'm glad you like my Robin Hood song. I wrote that quite a few years ago and the tune is the "Streets Of Laredo". I thought the tune fit the time frame of the lyrics pretty well.

My Son is a Videographer who's specialty is weddings and graduations.
He's the guy responsible for all my you-tube videos. He's taken a lot from old TV shows and reformatted them for you-tube. He usually doesn't tell me about it until it's already on there. He'll call and say, "Hey Dad, check this out"...      :rolleyes:      He has his own editing equipment and has been doing this for years. If anyone in the central Michigan area needs a video done, he's very reasonable.
       

Scott, I'm so glad you posted. How's Michael doing? He must be pretty much grown by now. You forgot to mention that Michael took his first deer with a bow made for him by Bob Morrison during that special hunt at the "Listening Inn". The hunt was but together by Randy Gustafson.  of "Northwoods Outfitters". I'll never forget the field dressing ceremony by flashlight, with Randy, Jim Hammill and myself instructing  him...he did a good. And the evening that I sat with him in the blind?...I fell asleep and started snoring..and he had to wake me up..      :D    

Thanks again everyone..      :campfire:

When I first saw this guy on MBB Volume One, I thought he was a complete wierdo.  It's funny though, I find myself watching his segment on that dvd more than any other.  Point being, he's a very interesting guy ( i think he's very cool).  I wonder if he drinks Dos Equis?

Ron is the real deal.  Former archery champion, seller of great bows, wool shirts, poet, and now I find out the man can sing....

 

Of course I think his greatest feat of all is being a big enough man that you can model a loincloth and nobody even snickers! Just kidding, Ron. I'm not about to dig up that old post, I don't want to end up at the bottom of Armstrong Creek next time I come to Kalamazoo!
