ca. 45 mins, packed with full-length songs of Stan's. "Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his finely-crafted, traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33. His influence on Canadian folk music has been deep and lasting." --

UsesProzacsays...I put this on not intending to watch it all, but I did. I sat here and watched the whole 45 minutes. Thanks, Calvados.

rougysays...Another nice surprise.
Round the thirty minute mark, when they were singing in the kitchen, reminded me of good things.
erlkingsays...Stan's music runs like a thread through my life. I just missed him at the Philly Folk Festival. I have sung his songs around campfires and in bars from Galway to San Francisco. My daughter learned the lyrics to The Mary Ellen Carter along with her Mother Goose rhymes. Finding this artifact of Stan's life was a real treat. I'm glad it's here.
