Stan Rogers died 26 years ago today in Cincinnati, June 2 1983. He was only 33 but he was already one of the greatest singer-songwriters Canada has ever produced. Stan Rogers wrote songs about fishing for farmers and songs about farming for fishermen and songs about women for men and men for women and songs about pirates for landlubbers. He died before he even reached his prime.
So let's remember Stan Rogers.
In this clip from a CBC documentary, Robert Cusik tells his first-person story of survival, setting up a live performance of Stan Rogers, The Mary Ellen Carter. Rise again.

- VOKL is my self-assigned nom-de-blog in the format of a Newfoundland radio call sign. It gives me a name for my voice. And when you say it out loud it's vocal. See? VOKL. This may also reveal a subconcious desire to punnish my readers. I hope you understand. Anyway it's my blog. Start your own blog.
