Stan Rogers - Music in your eyes

[@ELMASLAD]

I miss the old days listening to Stan at Mariposa in the early 70s in TO. Brings back all the sadness about how we lost him. And all the good music with Stan, Willie P.....and Garnet. My heart is hurting but I wouldn't have missed it for anything.

A wonderful rendition of a Willie P Bennett song.

I had to wait until 2000 after I'd moved to Nova Scotia from Ontario,and one of my children came home from school,singing Barretts' Privateers to hear of him.No explanation from the teacher as to who he was.I was pretty young when he was touring.Farmers can't attend events in the summertime and don't often go to bars is all I can figure.Too bad, because it's folks from the boonies that he sang about.Garnets' music is available from himself,Amazon.Stans' stuff from Fogarty Cove,Borealis Records.

When I was younger in the days of my youth I used to sit down and watch the river go down And see my dreams roll 'round the bend Hoping they'd come back again Now a long time's gone by and at least once a day I sit and think about when you were holy And so eager to see what you could find; Now ain't it funny how we lost the timeâ?¦ You wonder why I lay awake at night Well I just can't get to sleep It's not the devils or the feelings inside It's the peace of mind I seek Cause you stand there laughin', I'm standin' starin' And I've come all this way and all you ever said was "Well, that's OK" Music in your eyes, I can tell by your surprise You've been doin' fine, so don't give me no more lies; We'll understand it all in time Music in your eyes, my God, I'd love to watch you dance! Now don't be feelin' shy, 'cause I know you know how And you're not sleepy now When I came into this town I knew my hands were bounded; I knew I'd have to pay for my ways or else go underground But I said, "Music in your eyes, I can tell by your surprise That you've been doin' fine, so don't give me no more lies We'll understand it all in time" I wouldn't place you in a hole, 'cause that's not the way to do it; I know you want to be set free to let your love come shining on through; So come on and shine now! Music in your eyes, I can tell by your surprise That you've been doin' fine, so don't give me no more lies We'll understand it all in time You know, we'll understand it

The sound of this song reminds me of Sammy Davis' song "Candy man".

[@artdeco18]

Willie P does a really good version as well... hehehe... but i remember the times... Doug McArthur, the Original Sloth band, Paul Langille... and the rest at Campbells Coffeehouse or the Knight 2

Brother Garnet has an excellent rendition of this. Might even be better than this one.
