[@krcsr178]

God Bless Stompin' Tom May he RIP in the arms of the Lord

[@wildstreak73]

It has been 9 years since you left us. Our icon is gone. Now you are entertaining both of my parents up there in Creator's theatre. R.I.P. Stomper.

[@annesmith7143]

A great story teller i enjoy all his music.

[@torontosuave7558]

God bless stomping Tom. He was a marbellous artist god Bles Him !!

[@mikehooper8843]

I'm from the US but I have listened to and love STOMPIN' TOM for several years and ABSOLUTELY LOVE his music!! His music is original and shows his love for 🇨🇦 🍁 CANADA!! I had to get another computer and lost all the music of Stompin' Tom as well as favorites of mine from Australia as well as the USA!! I don't care much for all this so called country music of today, so my favorite music is mostly from the 60's 70's and earlier. May GOD welcome Stompin' Tom with the words: WELCOME GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT, ENTER THOU INTO YOUR HEAVENLY HOME!!

[@GenevieveGarbutt]

I seen this a thousand times love it every time

[@blainestewart4197]

Like what can ya say a true Canadain love his music and songs

[@brianhadley4456]

[@frankdiscussion2069]

Not bad for a guy who started his career playing for free beer at The Maple Leaf Hotel in Timmins Ontario. RIP Stompin' Tom

[@lionelwhiteduck8004]

Many years ago I spent many years in high Arctic and my casette player and Stompin 'Tom kept me sane and I have gone to 4 of his concerts ,have his t shirts and many of his early songz and will admire him forever . RIP....

[@torontosuave7558]

Stompimg Tom Lives in Glory, is the way hi es Rememberred !!

[@timmunroe4873]

It's been almost seven year's Stompin' Tom since you left us, and it feels just like yesterday! Here's to you the greatest Canadian that ever lived! Try as we might our light shines less bright without you God Bless, you will never be forgotten!

[@Cigar65]

Listen to that fiddle here at the start. If that is not Maritime fiddle I don't know what is. Tom is not getting all the love he should be getting. There must be more Canada can do for this amazing man. A stamp. A statue, etc? He is our Hank Williams here in Canada. I saw him in Concert 4 times. Have all his records. He is amazing. God Bless Stompin Tom Conners. No one here in Canada like him. He will always be remember by me till the day I die. RIP TOM. Love and thanks for your great music.

[@SteveWallsable]

Abigail Frasz A company in Sudbury, Ontario is paying to have a big statue made of Stompin' Tom- It's going up very soon!

[@StevenBeaulieu1974]

They did have a stamp made for him during what I believe was his last Canadian tour in 2009. When he was in Ottawa, there was a presentation made...and he joked about politicians in Ottawa, that was classic!

[@CyanBlackflower]

Rick Haggett Yeah there is more we can do. Get RID of that F@@king Steven Harper.

[@ralphwinfield2872]

I'll never forget hearing Mister Connors' name for the first time: September 11, 1985, in the University of Prince Edward Island Student Union Pub--The Panther Lounge. Although my Mom's parents and relatives are Islanders and Bluenosers, I'd not heard Mister Connors's name. The first time I heard one of his tunes, I thought it was a fun one: Sudbury Saturday Night. God bless Mister Conmors, and may God bless my Canadian cousins, friends, and the other Canadians

[@BlackCat-dm7se]

from one maritimer to the greatest of them all thank you Mr. Canada for the great memories RIP

[@willyk612007]

Myself and comrades, stumbled in by chance, to a very small tavern in London Ontario, and I had heard the name Stompin Tom and also the song Tillsonburg prior. This is in the heady times of the early 80s and Stompin Tom went thru his repertoire of favorites as a true showman, playing to stoners like us, and the regulars. Show was good, I thought at that time. Now, as I reflect, it was really fantastic and his talent shines so bright, as a brilliant Canadien Super Star. Tip of the hat to yas Tom. Need more youtube material of the man performing.

[@austin27332]

Canada has lost a true patriot in Stompin Tom. Stomp away in Heaven Tom. You earned it friend.

[@roseturcotte7390]

Beautiful singer

[@321reh]

Stompin Tom ,,,A true Canadian Legend...Ignored By Nashville BUT Loved By Canadians!!!! I will See You One Day My Friend

[@gordgraham8426]

Great Canadian song about stompin Tom Connors bye the great Tim hus

[@123loganrocks]

Really like the song at the start and finish. really good way to say good bye to a true Canadian.

[@barontaylor7139]

He was the spirit of Canada with his words and music

[@juliearcand8630]

I still miss this man and his music.

[@charlesjohnson-qf2ns]

Growing up in Peterborough, I have met Tom on many occasions. He played at the Grand Hotel. I play his music all the time.

[@gwenr5272]

He was a King among Canadians. Gone only one year, but never fiorgotten. May you rest in Canadian bacon and maple syrup fovever I will always miss you and the pride you intilled in our country. You made us all proud.

[@Al_Nunnery]

Stompin Tom Conner aka Stampin Tim .....lol......Will Be Missed.....I only wish I could have seen him in Concert

[@alishah017]

This is my great uncle no joke and I miss him so much

[@JimmysOldTimeRadioShow]

An entertainer for seniors' homes across Canada, I often sing Stompin' Tom songs to their great pleasure. A long-time admirer of his legend and story, I've had the pleasure of working with his recording engineer Brian Hewson at Escarpment Sound. Tom's two-volume autobiography is a terrific read. I feel close to Stompin' Tom and close to Canada largely because of him. I think that is what he would have wanted me to feel. Thank you for posting his Celebration of Life.

[@Uranverein]

God bless for playing for the elderly. I play the "old folks" circuit around cape cod and I'm trying to incorporate Stompin Tom stuff. He was my grandfather's favorite and his parents were from good ol' PEI. I feel this huge connection to his culture from just south of the border. My sinuses are cleared like drinking a bowl of buffalo sauce. Man, Tim Huss has been holding that maple since Tom passed.

[@brendahodgins]

My dad played his Stompin Tom tape for me on a road trip. I loved it. Finally we had a mutual sound. We traveled many hours together - made all the difference in our mood, still remember the three of us singing!

[@denisgoguen9823]

Now this is what I call a Canadian Funeral.

[@pbandj098]

Lets keep him alive for ever in Canada RIP

[@79tazman]

Stompin' Tom never sold out to America like many Canadians have

[@79tazman]

Stompin' Tom Connors was and still is a awesome song singer and writer RIP Tom

[@donaldmyers803]

A real down to earth Canadian.He will be missed by all rest in peace TOM............

[@gwolfe1977]

The Greatest Canadian Man of ALL TIME!!! May your soul rest in peace. You will never be forgotten! We will meet one day.

[@myrnnafraser7983]

saw Tom at the Horseshoe Tavern,Toronto, will never forget the show, amazing

[@daflotsam]

Only became a fan about a year ago. It would've been great to walk with the man through your beautiful country--on the trails, in the bars--but then in listening to his music I feel I'm doing just that. Great man, great music. Thanks to all who supported him throughout the years so that his music could be spread that much further.

[@gordonsteeves9950]

The only guy that should have ever been Priminister, R.I.P. Stompin' Tom

[@marionpenfold713]

A legend in our country...I salute you , I know your singing in heaven.

[@gary9111]

Stompin Tom ,you are so missed down here , but I know you are singing and playing with the angels in heaven. I have heard Tom say many time that his fans made him, but I think Tom made his fans a little more Canadian, than they would have been without him. You were a true Canadian and are missed more than most can imagine. R.I.P. my friend . G.K. in Whitby

[@johngalayda8880]

God rest you, Mr. Connors. I hope to see you in Heaven someday.

[@edwardbaker9695]

I was fortunate to attend some of Tom's concerts, the last time as always he performed with the vigour I had come to expect. When I was a kid Tom used to visit ( in the late 50's) a friends parents here in Ontario, I had no idea who he was he just sat by the fire for hours and played and sang and was trying to sell some records he had made. At the last concert as it ended I was standing enjoying the warm glow that surrounded me from the music and the stories of the evening. He had mentioned a lot of people I had know as a child and a young man. As I stood and watched I noticed that the people my age (40 to 50 at that time) were rising to leave. The younger generation in their late teens to late 20's stood and screamed for more of Tom, At that point another warm glow flooded over me as I realized that Tom has touched and inspired many generations of fans a most fitting tribute to probably the most patriotic Canadian ever. A most fitting tribute to Canada's premier ICON. Every time Tom's name is mentioned or a song is played it takes me back to the days of my youth and the memories of when Tom hitched his way through our town.

[@pooh72bear]

5 years ago today i was here

[@wescreek3324]

Tom was a great voice of what Canada was like and you could be right there when he sang a song right beside him picking Tabaco and drinking while being some where that was a sad or glad he was a great Canadian and a human being that wanted to keep on giving like a continual gift. When i met tom at canvindish festival in PEI that was my high light of my life it period i miss him dearly so much i kept following his career i will miss him beyond life it is self

[@sharongeall229]

[@CountryAndClassics]

Thank You for posting this. I followed Him most of My life & am so saddened on His passing. There will never be another Stompin' Tom Connors.

[@JohnCrowquillerCullen]

His final words,...he REALLY meant,.....he was that kinda man !! RIP Tom.....

[@GetErDoneBri]

The best canadian u will ever see and my icon I will miss this man forever.

[@marjcam]

Started enjoying Tom's music and talent at the Horseshoe Tavern - first as house band and then as the featured performer with folks lined up for blocks to get in to see him. Attended his wedding reception and dance, and attended his shows as often as possible. Last time I saw him was at the deCoste Centre in Pictou, Nova Scotia. He was a truly unique Canadian talent. His museum in Skinner's Pond is a great tribute. May his music live on.

[@canadiangirl1041]

thank you for putting this up, it bugs me that I missed seeing it on the tv, I wish I'd been there, he was my all time favourite singer

[@FlintyB]

awesome service....I used to pretend I was him as a little boy..had the board and that he once autographed it for me when he performed in northern Manitoba ;) " rest in peace"

[@Matt92Machine]

Wow, he died on my birthday. Rest in piece.

[@brandonaitchison3747]

[@stevelambright175]

I would call stompin tom Connors mr canada

[@dylanguignion2036]

Never even heard of him until about 2015-2016. But he's defianately tops for me, and as the medevel hierarchy goes George Strait may be king of country, but Tom's a notch higher-Emperor, of both Canadian, Folk, and Country.

[@GetErDoneBri]

I loved it when the mounties broght him out now that was classic .

[@Landrew0]

He never got the respect he felt he was owed.

[@MrBackachers]

Sure is one Canadian that will be remembered as a Gr8 1 !

[@wildstreak73]

I agree with steve walls; we need a dvd copy...

[@michaelnunes5129]

This guy singing at the end, sounds like Mike Myers playing his Bay City Rollers albums !!!

[@wildstreak73]

Canada Day isn't the same anymore :(

[@brittanyhanson415]

R.I.P Stompin Tom :(

[@islandguy911]

At 123:10 you can see Tom at the matador club at his come back party, my uncle Ronnie Richard was his lead guitar player back then and asked tom if Todd his son and I could come to the invite only party, tom said hell yes call them to come down. that's the type of man Tom was, he didn't gave a rat's that it was not his place to get his friends in but he did it anyway. I met and drank a few times before and later with Tom, I am so thankful to my uncle for bring us together and for Tom. RIP Friend
