Stan Rogers

This week a friend from work introduced me to the music of Stan Rogers. If you haven't heard him do yourself a favor and check out his song Barrett's Privateers. It's an awesome shanty. I also love Northwest Passage.

What a great voice and what a great songwriter he was. Unfortunately for us he died too young. He was only 33 when he was killed along with 22 others in that horrible fire aboard the Air Canada Flight 797 on June 2, 1983.

If you love folk music then you will really enjoy Stan Rogers.
