Thread Name: Stan Rogers
Subject: RE: Stan Rogers
Thank you for mentioning both Stan Rogers and Kate Wolf on the same thread. I just finished lisitening to what I believe was his last recording, at least that's what Garnet Rogers ( his brother) says in the liner notes. It is on Folk Tradition (Gadfly)and is titled "For The Family" Any album you buy of Stan Rogers' is great and you won't be disappointed. I was also looking at a Kate Wolf double CD called "Give Yourself to Love" on Kaleidoscope. It was recorded through parts of 1982 and 1983. Stan was killed on June 2nd 1983, and Kate dedicates this CD to Stan with these words: "In memory of songwriter Stan Rogers - the flame is out but the light burns on"... Kate Wolf died rather young, herself in 1986. Fortunately for all of us, there is quite a few recordings of both artists for us to cherish and enjoy. This is a real good thread; am looking forward to more stories about these wonderful artists.......
