I never knew of Stan Rogers until fairly recently, past 10y or so. One of my great regrets.

However, after seeing Julie Felix at Crich Tramway last Monday, other½ & I stopped off in Cromford for fish & chips to take home.
A couple of ladies about my ageish with not quite American accents were in the queue and we got chatting and yes, they were Canadian.

They'd heard the name Julie Felix but didn't know a lot about her, but when I made a reference to the great Canadian singer/songwriter who died in the plane fire, one looked amazed!
"You mean Stan Rogers? You've actually heard of him over here?"

So there we were in the Chip Shop, wife trying very hard to look as if she wasn't with me, singing a couple of Stan Rogers choruses!
