GUEST,Steven G. Review: Stan Rogers - A Matter of Heart (20) RE: Stan Rogers - A Matter of Heart 02 Aug 01


Hi, Rick

You are right about those Stan Fans. Me, being a fan of his music, was talking to lady from Minnesota who was asking me questions about who was Stan Rogers. So I gave her a brief biography of him and his music. And being from the Maritimes (from PEI), told her how his music really struck a chord with the fishermen and farmers.

So during the intermission, I asked her and her friends how they are enjoying the play. They were really enjoying the play.

You said that when you seen the play, you seen some people crying at the songs that weren't the songs that weren't the downer ones. Me, I had a tear in my eye with Make and Break Harbour, and Finch's Complaint. Because being from the Maritimes, I understood the people in that poem, being from a little fishing community, most of my neighbors are fishermen.

Well, the happier songs like The Idiot, and Half of a Heart, Working Joe they were funny. I really like "The Idiot" because I can just see Morris dancers dancing to that tune. :) haha...

Well, all and all it is a great play. And I am one of those Stan fans that was in the audience when I watch this play because I wanted to sing along to the songs and my foot was tappin' all night long.

Well, anyway got to go. Have a great day.

Steven G.
