stan rogers - forty five years

i hate to say this being canadian, but i had not heard of stan rogers and his music. a friend had played this song for me off the fogarty`s cove cd and i had to learn this beautiful song to his wife.
i hope i have done it justice.

As good a cover I've heard of any of Stans stuff. Never actually heard 45 Years covered so, thanks. ... God he was great. Songs so full of emotion and beauty, and that voice. It has never failed to run shivers through me. I'm not a big fan of "love songs," but I think that Lies is one of his best.

i got to say that since i recorded this i have been buying his cd`s...your right he was great...a real loss

[onecrowesorrow]

Not exactly like Stan, but he always said "take the songs and make them your own". Nice job! :)

[leafer6]

well if thats the case...i would like to own all the songs he does...thanks

[SillyWizard]

Yes good job indeed. Stan's music is fantastic! Keep it up.

[leafer6]

thanks

[catguyone]

first off, this is not Stan.

second thanks for the great rendition of 45 years.

third make it your song, give it the soul, that is, change the beat, slow it down, live the feeling.

You're probably used to the over-vibrattoed IDIOTS on American Idol. Subtlety is the key to emotion. If you understand soul, you don't need to be beaten over the head with it.

@wdchrismon

Huh? Sorry, but this is a fair enough "singing around the kitchen" version of 45 years but the best cover you've heard???

[sailbeyondthesunset]

[2442367]

Great but try to sing it with passion and try to stay in tune but anyways great job

[leary33]

[UbiDuboi]

[UbiDuboi]

i cannot even play the kazoo

[UbiDuboi]

he was so good. i miss him as much as if i knew him. around here, stan rogers is an icon. not kidding.

This was the first song I learned to play on the guitar - in 1980!  We recorded Stan's version onto a tape with a microphone held next to a record player. Later got to hear him perform live a few times in Chicago.
