Mbo,
Stan Rogers was a young Canadian singer and songwriter who died in a plane accident at the age of 33. For more information try these past threads Stan Rogers and Of Stan Rogers songs.
There are a few more threads. If you want 'em, type in Stan Rogers in the filter and set the age for two or three years.
And of course, you can search the DT for [Stan Rogers] and view some of his lyrics.
If you love traditional based song writing, give a listen. He also had a wonderful deep baritone and played decent twelve string guitar. His brother, Garnet Rogers (with similar attributes) used to perform with Stan and still performs solo across Canada and the US.l
Enjoy the music!
