I knew all the lyrics and singing that song was the only time my dad would let me say damn as a kid. Its been years since those days but my love for Stan Rogers has done everything but dissipate. My childhood had a soundtrack of "Northwest Passage" and "Fogartys Cove" but my teens years are now being illuminated by "Between the Breaks", "From Fresh Water" and "Home in Halifax". <br /><br />Growing up in Hamilton I am saddened that so few know of this great man and his fantastic music.

I'm always surprised by how few people, especially Canadians, know of Stan Rogers. <br /><br />His live album, Between the Breaks, is one of my favorite albums -- and I'd say for the uninitiated, the best place to start. But, Fogarty's Cove is great, too. <br /><br />Stan also got me into using DADGAD tuning on my guitar which has a lovely resonator effect.Sean Rasmussenhttp://www.seanrasmussen.ca/noreply@blogger.com
