WILLIAMS LAKE STAMPEDE HONOURS ALAN MOBERG ON THE 40TH
ANNIVERSARY OF HIS WILLIAMS LAKE STAMPEDE SONG
Be sure to attend on June 27 and 28, as Alan rides in the Grand Parade, opens the
Rodeo both days, performs in the Let r Buck Saloon with Ed Peekeekoot on June 27
and performs in concert with Ed in the Gibraltar Room June 28.
Alan is a storyteller in song. "The Williams Lake Stampede" he says, "is a historic
Stampede; it's been around for more than 80 years. At the time I wrote the song,
people used to camp right beside the fair grounds. Some of them would even have
come in a horse drawn covered wagon. So the song is a historical look at the
Williams Lake Stampede. I use the towns in a rhythmic and rhyming way--"Sugar Cane,
Horsefly, Kleena Kleene, Alkali, Prince George and Quesnel/Soda Creek, Cache Creek,
Anahim, Bella Coola, Lillooet, you know darn well"--just to provide the sense that
people came from all around to meet at the Stampede. A Stampede is a rodeo where
different cowboy skills are tested, like saddle bronc riding and bull riding. But
it was also a time when people got together when probably in those older days they
wouldn't have seen each other all year because they were busy on their own ranches
and distances between them were far. So it was a time to swap stories and enjoy
being together".
Mark Madryga, weatherman at Global TV, grew up listening to this song promote the
Stampede each year, and calls it "a classic". He has even sung it on air several
times.
The Williams Lake Stampede song is available on Alan's NORTHERN LOVE CD.
