Subject: RE: Obit: Stompin' Tom Connors Dead (1936-2013)
That clip, guest, is one of the reasons Tom was SO popular up here. I have heard a number of people say they didn't care for a lot of his music except for some tunes. He had some GREAT tunes but I can understand why anyone has any likes or dislikes. If you ever saw him perform in person as in that clip, you would know the man was, and still is to me, about more than just the tunes. He was a treasure to see live in a small venue. Funny as all get out! And the tunes sounded far better than on radio. Glad I saw him live in the tavern.
He'll be haulin another load a spuds and smiling forever.
