This week on Living Out Loud… In 60 years running a family farm, Henry

stories take us back to rural Ontario, starting around the time of the
First World War. Henry is wise and funny and he certainly has a
wonderful voice. But he also has a grandson who's a talented composer
who can make music with that voice in surprising and delightful ways.
