@TyteFystedFolkie the only way that is video will not stay, is if i put a better copy on in hd, with better sound for the viewers! :)

talk about the good die young.......stan the man was simply the best, better than all the rest

One of my favorites...sing it at gatherings all the time!

I recall the shock of Stan's tragic death as if it were yesterday. At the time I communicated with his mother to try to ameliorate some of the pain she must have experienced.This song and it's historical importance for all east coast fishermen is quintessential Stan. I have always found it very, very emotional, not only for it's sensitivity but also as a reminder of seeing Stan several times at Mariposa. Thanks for the imagery. I have his LPs still from the 70s.

At one pt. in time every song by Stan would become my favourite for awhile. But for 20 years now, (You know you always have a song playing in your head when you are waking etc....but usually one you don't like it!), it has been my fortune to awake, shower and the first rational thought in my mind has always been, "HOW STILL LIES THE BAY..."

Stan Rogers died running back into a flaming airplane to save people knowing that at any second it it could explode and kill him. Some people say that was stupid, but you know what, fuck them, that's how I wanna die.

@69pillager It could also fit in Nova Scotia, even better into Newfoundland.

As Northwest Passage is to Canada, this song speaks to the very soul of Downeast Maine lobsterfishermen. Humans are, above all, a greedy people. As for Stan, the best of the best never seem to get their dues, at least not until they die. Stan, God bless you Stan.
