I'm ashamed to say i hadn't even heard of Stan until COVID, when he showed up on my Pandora and transfixed me and my family. What a gift!!! My heart breaks to think of what his loss meant to his family, but i hope they know how much his music and soul mean to those of us still getting to know his amazing talent, and those who have been fans for decades. A truly special man. ❤

I never had the chance to see Stan Rogers on stage but I did meet him one afternoon in Ginger's Tavern in Halifax, N.S. The bar was nearly empty and we chatted for close to an hour. I was a nineteen year old who had just joined the navy. I didn't even realize who he was at the time. He had only introduced himself as Stan.

This song always causes me to think about when I taught junior and senior high students. It's educational yet tells a story; it gives advice to young adults without backlash.

Uncle Emile, he’s gone now nearly ten days He tole his wife’s he’s gone for the fishing But in the waters off St. Pierre and Miquelon Isles The fish come in bottles of gold If the Anne-Marie floats and the Mounties stay blind He’ll be back before the moon is rising With a very fine catch all safe in the hold Thirty cases of Trinidad light For Acadian Saturday night! Emmeline Comeau works the general store Papa says she’s good for the custom She’s go eyes like fire and hair past her shoulders As shiny black as ant’racite coal You can see her Sunday morning on the St. Phillipe road Her mother close behind like a dragon But her mama doesn’t know what she does behind the hall Away from the music and lights On Acadian Saturday night! Oh - don’t the fiddles make you roll ‘Til your heart she pounds like a hammer There’s a fat lady beating her piano like a drum And everybody’s higher than a kite On Acadian Saturday night! Granpa says it was better in his day The Mounties stayed away from the parties And he didn’t mind a fight when the spirits got high (You could always throw them out in the snow) And the rum was better and it came in bigger bottles And the revenue cutters were slow - Still, the old Anne-Marie has wings on the water And there’s nothing like Trinidad light On Acadian Saturday night! 1:03

Can't believe all those people are just sitting there motionless while he's playing, I'd be up and jamming.

Stan was a stellar talent as a songwriter, but if this was the only song he'd ever done, he'd still be one of Canada's greatest treasures.

The love expressed by Stan Rogers is so reminiscent of another beautiful Canadian ballad "When you and I were young Maggie." Foster and Allen perform an outstanding version.

I was in McVeighs Irish pub in Toronto and the band was playing. I heard a song that stuck with me until the next day I couldn’t remember the name of it, thankfully I had recorded a video of the band singing. The song was Barrett’s Privateers. That’s how I discovered Stan’s music and have been a fan ever since. His music reminds me of the folk music back home in Ireland. Thanks for uploading these videos. They are great 👍🏻

I often wonder how much magnificent music was in this young man's head that we were never privileged to hear. I have all his recordings and love all of his music. Many of his songs have been a great comfort in hard times.
