Canada's country pioneer, Wilfred Arthur Charles Carter, December 18, 1904 – December 5, 1996, professionally known as Wilf Carter in his native Canada and also as Montana Slim in the United States, was a Canadian Country and Western singer, songwriter, guitarist, and yodeller.

"Bluebird on Your Windowsill." was penned by a Vancouver nurse in 1947. The words were inspired by a small bird which perched on a windowsill of the Hospital for Sick and Crippled Children. The melody was added later, claims to it disputed.

The song was chosen as the theme for the 1949 US March of Dimes. In 2010 "Bluebird on Your Windowsill" was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. (adapted from Canadian Encyclopedia)
