"More About Henry is a unique musical documentary by composer and producer Adam Goddard. Adam recorded his grandfather, Henry Robert Tindale Haws and collected his stories from a long life of farming. Tales of billy goats and bulls, square dances and harmonicas, mechanization and artificial insemination are combined with Adam's exquisite musical compositions to tell a historic, yet timeless tale of the struggles and joys of life, work and family."

I just listened to this play the extended version on CBC radio the other day, I had also listened to it air in an abbreviated form earlier in October.  

It is an interesting way for a family to capture and preserve a segment of its history that I think too many families under value nowadays.

The whole time I listened to this I regretted not being able to know my grandparents better before they passed.

Well worth a listen.
