“For the Preservation of Frontier History......that is what
the music and writing of Al Oster is really about” Al Oster, composer/songwriter/artist says he "arrived in the Yukon in 1957 and quickly became an instant victim of THE SPELL. He immediately recognized the history and legends of this land as a sleeping giant of wealth for heritage preservation & began writing musical ballads soon after arrival" He wrote this love song to Alaska after his initial visit. In 2002 Al received an award from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for his musical contribution to Canada history. You can listen to some of his songs, and read about his books & stories of the history of the North at: www.alosteryukon.com |
