Westmorland is a traditional county in the north west of England. Places mentioned in the song, such as Ulswater and the Kirkstone Pass, are well known features of the Lake District national park, a wild and remote part of the country even today.

Stan is considered a folk legend in Canada, and likely farther afield by those in the folk scene. Born in Ontario, moved to Nova Scotia. I think I heard somebody say, maybe Stan, he was really at home in Nova Scotia as if he was born in the wrong place. He was a natural writer and singer of Maritime folk music. His tragic death is still felt today.

Now that is folk. Well written and well played. Stan was the lead singer. He and his brother Garnet were big men with deep resonant voices. Stan's most famous songs are "NorthWest Passage" and "Mary Ellen Carter". The former was covered by Unleash The Archers while the latter is one of the closing songs of every Winnipeg Folk Festival. I almost forgot, the first song of his I heard was a sea shanty he wrote called "Barrette's Privateers" (it is a tremendous sing along song often sung in the bars of Halifax).

This hit's the spot! A good tune done justice by a Master! Peace & Love.

Stan was unsurpassed in his folky brilliance. But let's also have some respect for the great Archie Fisher, composer of this gem.

Stan's life was cut short in an accident .. so many greats died while touring.

Stan Roger’s was a giant (figuratively and literally) of the Canadian folk scene. Gorgeous baritone voice and an outstanding songwriter as well.

[@jimbrentar]

Northwest Passage is Canadas unrecognized national anthem

I’m going to stop whatever I’m doing if you are going to react to Stan Rogers. He is one of the greats you should pay attention to. He died in a plane crash way too young but he left behind absolute treasures. I recommend: The Field Behind the Plow, Lock Keeper, The Last Watch, amongst countless others.

TY for not pausing the song here and there and showing that you do not need to speak ppls head in while enjoing a good song.

[@tessesmom]

You should give a listen to 'that's how legends are made' John gorka's tribute to Stan Rogers x

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Wow Stan Rogers. Maybe check out his song “The Mary Ellen Carter” it’s really good. Lots of great songs Stan was brilliant. Thanks. Happy Halloween Jp 🎃

[@BennyGeserit]

I like the reference to the Rowan Shield and ultimately the Rowan tree. Better known as the Mountain Ash.

[@robertpearson8798]

Garnet is actually a pretty tall man.

[@jfergs.3302]

As folksy songs, sung by a Canadian, written by a Scotsman, and all about a kick off in the (now) Lake district go, not bad at all. I'm partial to a bit of jangly folk geet, and violin, now and then. A nice end to this halloween spree we've had.
