You know, I used to check the list on the right for other versions of songs I listened to to see if I could find a better version. I long ago quit checking the list on any songs that Stan Rogers sang. Just no point in it.
Man, sometimes it really kills me to realize that Stan won't be making anymore great Canadian songs. I wish Nathan would run with the flag, he has the voice, and start writing non-rock.
But Nathan isn't his father, and he has his own path to take. If he started doing music in the same style as Stan, he'd forever be compared to his father, and what are the chances people would accept Nathan as a substitute for Stan?
Enjoy the music Stan left us, and appreciate Nathan in his own right.
but I still feel this young man could be a inspriation to the working people of the world I know how much pride Stans music instilled in me as a working man...
Why won't the son continue in the working class tradition of the father ?
Guess the obvious answer is that the Dude is not working class........

Love this! But I fell asleep with my headphones on and had a dream that a bunch of people were visiting me and someone started singing this song and then we all joined in on the chorus in beautiful harmony. Nice dream.
On the "One Warm Line" program, Stan mentions that he wrote "Barrett's Privateers" because he liked singing shanties and wanted to lead one. In this posting he gets his wish. Thanks, Ministry, for helping to keep him alive.
Who is that on the left?
