There was a question that came up a few years ago about one of Stan's songs, and I thought "what the heck," and I looked him up. I ended up spending about an hour talking with my childhood hero Stan Boreson, discussing his songs and the songs of the Pacific NW. His wife originally answered the phone and handed it over; I think she's the one who was handling the CD sales.

Stan died in 2017 after a long and happy life. Here is the obituary thread. I'll go back over this thread tomorrow when I get a moment and look at the lyrics. I grew up with most of them (and in a Norwegian family in the Seattle area) so should be able to sort out any unclear lyrics.
