Subject: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: Wolfgang Hell Date: 21 Jun 97 - 04:06 AM I am looking for the lyrics to two song sung (perhaps also written) by Stan Rodgers: "Lookout Hill" and "String and Dory Plug" Cheers Wolfgang |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: Paul Kennedy Date: 21 Jun 97 - 08:21 PM Stans album 'For the Family', has the lyrics for both of those songs. Also these songs were not written by Stan, but I believe they were writte by a relative. |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: DrWord Date: 24 Jun 97 - 03:57 PM I think Paul is right. "Lookout Hill" may be by his brother Garnet |

Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: Wolfgang Date: 26 Jun 97 - 05:36 AM Hi Susan-Marie I know about moving and the difficulty of finding things. Just wanted to let you know that there is somebody hoping with you for an end to the mess. Cheers Wolfgang |
Subject: Lyr Add: LOOKOUT HILL^^, STRINGS AND DORY PLUG^^ From: Susan-Marie Date: 26 Jun 97 - 11:41 AM Here you go, Wolfgang: LOOKOUT HILL
There's a spot far away we all know well,
There are trout streams there, and moose and deer,
There'll be a time when I am old
When the lakes are frozen and the brooks are high, (Repeat first verse)
Lee Bushnell (Stan Rogers' uncle)
I'm going to tell a story, a funny one, you see,
He's moved to many places, sometimes to Hazel Hill,
One day he said to Dory Plug, "I've got to earn my bread.
From door to door he travelled, "Fifteen cents for one."
But Dory got a little bored while hubby was away.
Well Strings said to his darling, "Your wish is my command.
She sat down on the rocker while Strings went down below
But Dory got excited and rocked a bit too fast,
So now my story's ended. It may get me in jail,

Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: BK Date: 20 Aug 97 - 01:00 AM Susan-Marie: We too, are surrounded by various inlets, bays, and rivers of boxes, (no longer a full-fledged sea of boxes), but still a trial... I hope you make better progress than we are so far - ain't moving fun? Where did you buy that Stan Rogers CD? - it's one of the few I don't yet have.. Cheers, BK |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Aug 97 - 03:10 AM BK, I think all of the Stan Rogers CD's are available from cdnow.com. I have to gloat that I finally found the 2-disk set called "Remembering Stan Rogers: An East Coast Tribute." It's a wonderful collection of Stan's songs, performed by various Canadian performers. Canadian recordings are hard to find in the U.S., even on the Web. I finally found it at Down Home Records/Arhoolie in Cerritos, CA. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca Date: 20 Aug 97 - 09:17 AM It is true that he didn't write any of the songs on that CD. Some are traditional. I was once told that he was pleased with his efforts on "For The Family" (which is on Folk Tradition out of the US) and planned to do an entire album of traditional Canadian folk songs. Alas, he died in the airplane fire before this could be done and we are the poorer for it. |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: Susan-Marie Date: 20 Aug 97 - 11:52 AM B.K. - I bought my Stan Rogers CDs in Halifax Nova Scotia at a music store a block from the public library. If you're ever in the area check it out! It might even be worth a special trip because while you're in Halifax you can listen to bagpips at the Citadel, look "down to the Narrows" as Stan does in one of his songs, and as long as you're in Nova Scotia you should really drive up to Cape Breton and search out the talented fiddle players and singers of that area. No, I'm not a travel agent, just someone who loved her two trips to Nova Scotia and is planning on going back as soon as she can afford it. ;) Susan-Marie

Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca Date: 20 Aug 97 - 08:06 PM Try to go to the area on the east shore he sings about in Fogarty's Cove. There is no Fogarty's Cove or Wild Rose Chance but the other places he mentions are there. |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Aug 97 - 09:41 PM Tim, you say there's no such place called Fogarty's Cove? That it was just a figment of Stan's imagination? Can that be? I was picturing this ultimately picturesque place, like Peggy's Cove but warm and sunny and without tourists - and you say it doesn't exist? Say it isn't so, somebody!!!! -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca Date: 21 Aug 97 - 09:47 AM Nope. Read the liner notes: "Fogarty's Cove. There is no such place. At least on any map." As far as I am aware there is no Wild Rose Chance, although wild roses grow in profusion along the coast of eastern Canada. I think that he was attempting to create an archtype of all the little villages he knew on the east shore of Nova Scotia. But there is a Queensport, and a Queensport light, and a Half Island. They are along Chedabucto Bay. The area in question is where his family was from, although he and his brother Garnett were born and raised in Dundas, Ontario. |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rodgers songs From: Susan-Marie Date: 21 Aug 97 - 11:40 AM Tim - How do you pronounce your last name? Every time I see it I think there should be a "c" in it - is it pronounced as if there were? |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rogers songs From: MMario Date: 21 Apr 03 - 01:33 PM tunes anyone? |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rogers songs From: fsharpdim7 Date: 21 Apr 03 - 04:54 PM The Folkscene Larman's have some great interviews with Stan, which they generally play every year. Write Ros and she can tell you when the next is coming up. Folkscene comes in great over KPFK's web site. See Folkscene.com Chris |
Subject: RE: REQ: Two Stan Rogers songs From: Songsmith Date: 22 Apr 03 - 07:12 AM Hello Folks, There is a place known as Fogarty's Cove just east of Half Island Cove. I'm from the area and have made the trip by boat several times. As with many of the local named inlets or coves it is not found on any map as stated. Stan spent a lot of time at his Uncle's cottage or as we call it camp which is not far from this area. I'm sure he was very aware of it's location. later! |
