Stan Rogers Birthday Celebration

Canadian folk music hero Stan Rogers was born on November 29, 1949. He would have turned sixty this year, and Geist is celebrating his birthday all year long.

Over the years, more than 500 people have written in to Geist with their memories of Stan Rogers and his music. We’ve shared some of these letters in past issues of the magazine, and this year we’re collecting even more. Every day, we will a post a story on our new Stan-ecdotes blog. We may also publish selected stories in the letters section of the magazine.
