Being a fan and supporter of Canadian music, I find that listening to Stan Rogers reaffirms my love and the constitution of Canadian troubadours. I find in our young people the same affection, when they are introduced to the music. There is nothing like going into a obscure small bar in your home town, and finding a group of young men belting out “Barrets Privateers,” with gusto and reverence, or seeing what is playing in the tape deck of their beaters, as they sail through their lives. Yes, not only does he reach our lives, but I feel he will be reaching through the history of this lands music for many years to come.
