Garnet would be just as he is with or without Stan. I've seen him a couple of times and this kind of talent survives on its own. Once he was working as an MC at Summerfolk (folk festival in Owen Sound, Ontario) and while there was the chaos of set changes going on behind him, he sung and spoke as if he was there alone. Funny too, how I can't remember what other acts I saw that day, and he was only the MC.

Stan was fantastic, though I never saw him play. His recordings are in regular rotation in my home, mostly on account of my 13 year old who really digs this stuff, and that's fine with me. If Stan can reach from where he is to my kid, in spite of today's pop posturers and image marketing, he's done his job well.

Peace. Mooh.
