Well, I know if I made a living singing songs I certainly wouldn't stay in Hamilton!

I like a lot of Stan Rogers songs, but Barrett's Privateers will always be my favorite, I'm pretty sure. It's the first one I heard and I still get shivers from it.

My very favorite Stan Rogers song.

Thanks for the link Carol.

I'd have to say that Northwest Passage is also my favorite Stan Rogers song. I miss his music intensely, and I can't help wondering what he'd be writing about today, if he were still among us.

Not much different me thinks. Rogers was nostalgic to a fault about the working man and old Canada, I doubt you'd hear him singing about Iraq or anything like that. The country, the coast, history and the people that lived there and through it were what he was interested in. That and family (40 years, Sailor's rest etc).
