02 Jun 08 - 04:25 PM (#2355474) Subject: 25 Years Ago Today Stan Rogers Died From: Sandy Mc Lean I tried to start a thread on this earlier but the clones combined it with another current one. I understand Joe why you want to keep it all tidy but I fear that the signifucance of the day is being lost. The earlier thread dealt with a radio tribute but it didn't explain why it was broadcast at this time. 25 years ago today we lost one of the greatest singer/songwriters who ever lived. Stan still lives in his music but I wonder what he would have done if he were still alive. Rest in peace! |

Or put another way, as remote as Robert Johnson seemed to me when I first got into folk and blues in the mid-1960s. |

04 Jun 08 - 12:31 PM (#2357304) Subject: RE: 25 Years Ago Today Stan Rogers Died From: GUEST,JohnB I'm sorry I did not know much about Stan Rogers when I heard the news, we had not really got into the folk scene in Canada having moved from UK to Montreal in 77 and to Ontario in 79 with two kids we didn't arrive with. So one of the first things I recollect strongly was the news of his death. It was more significant for myself at the time as it was a DC9 aircraft which crashed and I worked for McDonnel Douglas, the manufacturer. I can say though it wasn't one which I had anything to do with building. I have learned a lot more about Stan and know more of his songs than before his death, pity that's what it took. JohnB |

As excellen and prolific as his brother Garnet is, I would think Stan would have been even greater. I hardly knew his work before he died, yet I still miss him. I have a gig coming up next week and there are too many "tribute" song possibilities. The longer we live, the more people we will know who have passed on. Big RiB |

04 Jun 08 - 05:50 PM (#2357583) Subject: RE: 25 Years Ago Today Stan Rogers Died From: GUEST,meself No particular need to compare Stan with Garnet. Garnet's his own man. As for the son - I heard it said a few years back that he was hoping to make it on his own merits, and to avoid being billed as "Son of ... ". As for Stan - truly an original. A great talent gone far too soon. |
