One of the very best. Can you believe it's been 30 years since we lost him? :-(

Thanks Effsee.
After I pressed the send key i wanted to retract my slang words because I seldom use this language in public. But It was the first thought that came to me so I went with it.
Thanks for the understanding.

I discovered his music when I moved back to New England from Georgia. I loved it from the git-go. Then I learned that he'd been dead for a year. I sat on my bed and cried.

Thanks for the link--I love this program. It's aired at least a couple of time over the years, probably it was on CBC. Such emotion in his music, lyrics and performances.

So many of his songs are among my favourites - Northwest Passage, Free in the Harbour, Lies, Barrett's Privateers - the list goes on...

Finally got a chance to see this.   Wonderful, just amazing documentary.

I never met Stan but this film seems to have captured the very essence of him and his music.

At this point, words fail.

I met him at a folkies retreat. Outstanding singer and song writer.

It was his singing that was the music to the O Canada exposition at Epcot, Disney, florida. Very moving and on a recent visit to Canada I heard numerous stores playing his CDs

There's a fragment of a song on 'One Warm Line' which I've never heard before or since - The first line is

When I first came to this land

And no, it isn't the traditional one. It's a song about a voyageur/fur- trapper, and I was wondering if anyone has more information about it.

Help!

I watched this when it was first broadcast. I believe the program was split between Stan Rogers and Leonard Cohen. I still have the VHS tape I made.

In the course of some research re-the vanished Malaysian 777, I came across a highly detailed account of the fire that took Stan Roger's life . It seems that neither he, nor anyone else ,need have died, and that it was all down to pilot error.When notified of smoke coming from the toilet compartment ,the pilot instructed a flight attendant to discharge a CO2 extinguisher into it . This she did , later saying that the fire ,if indeed there was one ,appeared to be out .
   What the pilot SHOULD have done was declare an emergency and immediately land at an alternate airfield ( there was one close by ) ; howver, the pilot (s) flew on ,believing that all was well.Then the fire erupted more fiercely , causing the cabin & cockpit to fill with smoke .The nearest airfield by now was Cincinatti ; almost immediately after coming to a halt ,fire and choking smoke swept through the whole cabin.
IF only the pilot had followed the corresct procedure(s) when the fire was first reported, none of those people who died would have done so. How tragic .

Brian--

I feel your pain! I've been searching for any info on this song for a while now myself. About the best I've got right now is a rough transcription of the lyrics as sung in "One Warm Line." Song begins about at about the 23:16 mark, and goes on to roughly 23:55.

When I first came to this land
Oh land all I would plunder
To take at the stretching of the hand
The beaver filled the streams
And I dreamed a dream [unintelligible] and had the chance
To sell the furs to ladies back in France

When I first came to this land
Oh this [unintelligible] [and/ virgin?] wonder
Teeming o'er with beast and fish and fowl

Now for some speculation. I think that this may have been originally recorded for some CBC project or another, along similar lines to "Take it From Day to Day" or "Billy Green." That might explain why it hasn't been re-released yet. I'm also thinking it may have been from earlier in Rogers' career rather than later, but I'm not sure I'd want to put a date on it just yet.

Good luck!

I don't know this song either but the one unintelligible phrase is

And I dreamed a dream so bold and had the chance

There's a new book by Garnet Rogers titled: Night Drive: Travels with my Brother. Haven't read the book myself, but I read a very favorable review.

Funny how when you get to a certain age, anything from the past ten years is "new".

Re: When I First Came to This Land

I also couldn't find a reference to this song anywhere! I put a snippet of it here though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0EPQyWbWEk

I put it through https://github.com/deezer/spleeter to separate the vocals from accompaniment, although I haven't tried speaker separation yet to filter out the guy being interviewed. It's still a little easier to hear with just the vocals track, and I *think* the other unintelligible line is "this shore of virgin wonder".

Suspected lyrics:

When I first came to this land
Oh a land all I would plunder
To take at the stretching of the hand
The beaver filled the streams
And I dreamed a dream so bold and had the chance
To sell the furs to ladies back in France

When I first came to this land
Oh this shore of virgin wonder
Teeming o'er with beast and fish and fowl

Knowing Roger's, it seems to be going in the direction of how the stolen land has been over-utilized and exploited unsustainably. I wonder how it ends!
