Actually Stan was from Hannon... a little farming community outside of Hamilton...

But I'm picking nits...

Had a great breakfast with his mom, Val, one day, coming back from the festival of friends... she showed me the poarch that Al, Stan and Garnet build... and the picture window that Garnet put Stan out through one day...

Ain't sibling rivalry grand??!!??

LOL!!

Stan used to tell a great story of an old salty fisherman who approached him once after a gig... grabed his shoulder in a gnarled, scared old hand and said to him, about the song The Jeannie C, with red-stained eyes "I've been fishing man and boy for 40 years and your song says things I don't even dare think about"

Now THAT'S a song writer!

Here's to ya Stan! I felt ya there when we did Mary Ellen Carter tonight!

see ya after!
