[@MajikalCowpoke]

Same here, Texican but when I first heard stompin Tom I couldn’t believe he was a Canuck

[@Hollcall]

Tom was just starting His career. @ 1968 . He was "Opening" for Doc & Chicky Williams Show. No one knew this chap who came out on stage with an Old Martin & sheet of Plywood. lol . First song He sang.............."Crystal Chandeliers ". Then He starts this "STOMPING THING" and "RIPS" into "BUD the SPUD." Wow.............! I knew then He was on the move. This was in a High School in Louisbourg , N.S. CHEERS

I'm a Cajun from way south Louisiana, I wish I had heard of him back in the early 70's, I love his silly songs and his proud heritage and home CANADA! I'm my elder age, I'm gonna be looking for his music. My favorite is My stomping Grounds.

Used to go to the Horse Shoe Tavern in the late late 50's to see Stompin Tom we lived maybe 4 blocks from the tavern so was easy to go over to see him really enjoyed his music live

[@ruthusvaltas222]

Love Stompin Tom. So glad I saw him in concert twice. Rest in Peace Tom. You are a great Canadian.

[@joechisholm6168]

As a child, I can remember my Grandma and Grandpa knocking back the whiskey, sipping Ol' Milwaukee tall boys, and listening to Stompin' Tom. They'd bitch about Canadian politics and at each other before long, and then love each other and do it all over again the next night. Now my children watch my wife and I continue this tradition of listening to this great music, getting sauced right up, tucked away in our little 10'x10' cottage in Haliburton, Ontario. Our kids will remember the same scene, as I did as a child. RIP Stompin' Tom.

[@johnnyloveful3818]

Hail Stompin Tom bringing Canada together not divided a single soul in the process eh 🇨🇦❤️🙏🏿

Stomping Tom is a party man. Put this on at a major social gathering you attend, on the TV. There will be toe tapping, clapping and all around happiness. Stomping Tom Connors is a national treasure, forever and always. What an entertainer!

[@williamdornan4098]

I loved Dad and stompin Tom as friends.They had away to be Canadian. They had away to sing Canada. They a allowed me to play guitar with them. He was pretty good.

[@alleycat-145]

Imho, between the notes of "Stompin Tom's" songs he spoke/sang/told stories that expressed so very, very much sentiment, and emotion, about subjects/aspects that in some ways, so often touches the roots of everyday life in one form or another. Some very meaningful ways. Some funny ways. Some ways inbetween. There seems to be something for possibly everyone in his songs, musical poetry. "Stompin Tom" was a true poet, an eloquent orator of life. An outstanding humble Canadian treasure. We are so lucky to have had the pleasure of "Stompin Tom" stopping by for a while, providing us a good ol time, and also bequeathing to us his songs that we can continue to enjoy since he bid us so long. I hope he's makin' some "Stompin" racquet on shores of the "Pearly Gates, and they got lots of plywood around. RIP "Stompin Tom, and thanks for strumming the chords, and plucking the strings of our emotions, and singing about Canada, it's places, things, and the people. 🥰🙏⚘.

Saw him about 1970 in the Horseshoe. between sets he joined 4 or 5 Leafs including Davey Keon who were sitting in one of the booths against the back wall. He is everything I'd ever want from a Canadian icon.

Hey André, this is only part of the full show that was made into a movie called Across this Land, its on KZbin, look it up. Anyway he songs a song about the northern Québec lumberjack :)

[@bevearle3984]

I feel what makes Tom so great is he lived through a lot of his songs he walked most of Canada or hitch hiked .

[@shmangster]

good stuff!~

[@willad1872]

See the sparks coming off his big boot.

[@jramsay100]

This, is skillfully edited from a 1973 film, that ran 1:29:30 (without ads) titled "Across This Land With Stompin' Tom Connors." Filmed live at the Horseshoe Tavern, the show includes 25 songs performed by Stompin' Tom, plus 5 songs by others. City TV would air it from time to time, in the wee hours. Here's a link to a video of the full show, check in the description for the song list. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4Srn6qfitNsjtk

[@jwatchorn]

Thanks, I edited this, with the best from the movie

[@morganrieder6281]

Aye, in '73 he married Lena Walsh. She was (and still is) a beauty, from L'Île d'Entrée. Tom will live on forever. I only wish he'd been heard more stateside; they've missed out on a lot of great music.
