Every time I log into YouTube I am drawn to Stan Rogers. Why? As his wife said, he just gets under your skin. Something in his voice and his stories resonates so deeply I end up weeping in joy. Thank you Stan. Rest in peace. Your legacy lives on.

this music is way before my time, but its so beautiful. This man deserves more praise from my generation, I'll make sure he isn't forgot in my time.

You can also throw in my English support for Stan as well. I only got into Stan about six months ago; I'd heard the song 'Forty-Five Years' sung by someone else, so decided to search for it on You Tube and Stan popped up. I was just blown away by him, I didn't realise he'd written it and I became an instant fan. Like his wife, Ariel, said, his music gets under your skin. I can relate, in a way, to the songs about fishing, as Britain is/was a maritime nation.

My heart home is Cape Breton, but I grew up in Ontario, just like Stan. His music rings truer because of that longing for home. One of my most cherished memories is of a long winter drive from Ontario to Nova Scotia listening to Stan's music the entire way. That music is now a permanent part of me.

I saw Stan when I was twelve or thirteen I think, in either Winkler or Morden Manitoba, I believe this must have been shortly after Northwest Passage came out as he head some records for sale. I was kind of grumpy because my paretns were taking me to some crappy folk show. I loved it!! And I ended up listening to stan often on the cassette deck in my car with my gf through the early and mid eighties. His music is awesome.

You can throw my American support in there too. I too will not forget him.

His voice is like a warm summer breeze in it's melodic ebb and flow of passion!

He was a true storyteller, able to put himself in the shoes of others so well and help us see for a moment too.
