My Stompin' Grounds by Stompin' Tom Connors

[@earlwilson1637]

My dad and. Tom we’re friends and worked together as young men

[@rickeykeep4925]

I’ve said for years that he should be remembered as a true Canadian. A monument or some recognition would be nice.

[@springsteen448]

Theres a statue in Sudbury :)

[@chrisk7050]

Love it

[@kadinsteeves6248]

I live not even a hour away from where he lived in pei

[@Shadowkey392]

He is remembered. There’s a statue in Sudbury, The Hockey Song gets played regularly at hockey games (including every Toronto Maple Leafs home game), and it’s in the Canadian Songwriter’s Hall of Fame.

[@calebschieck5052]

He's got several, thank god

[@marcusd4366]

This guy is a legend if you listen to his lyrics. He talks about all of Canada. He is Canada. He gets it. RIP.

[@NozNK]

No way is this song about Canada? I don't believe you

[@alpha1138]

Check out Tim Hus. Another good canadian singer

[@fuiplu]

A true Canadian

[@liannabasciano6361]

CHODE He says Quebec right after New Brunswick and before Newfoundland. It sounds like “we’re back in” but it’s actually “Quebec and”

@Joseph-Denis Noël there's definitely nothing wrong with Hank Snow, that's for sure.

@Joseph-Denis Noël though I don't know why you'd feel the need to say you didn't like Tom or this video...why not just say nothing?

[@Mediatech492]

I met Tom Connors once, when I was about 4 years old. Someone introduced him to me as "Stomping Tom", so I said "Hello Mr. Tom". He laughed, and bought me a grape soda.

[@randallgrant6175]

My late father would often say:"If Stompin' Tom was an American, he'd be a millionaire". We as Canadians don't appreciate our own. At least that's the way it used to be, now, times are changing . I'm originally from North Vancouver, he wrote the song:"When the bridge came tumbling down" that was about the second narrows accident (it happened before I was around, but we learn that "19 men were drowned, so you could get to the other side, of old Vancouver town" Tom was great for teaching us Canadian History.

[@robertboyd3863]

Isn't Canada part of North America ?

[@peepeepoopoovdbhxvbcc6683]

It’s not that we aren’t respectful of who we have as musical artists, tragically hip proves that enough, it’s just that there’s so little of us and so many of them. Today, for every Canadian, there’s 12 US citizens.

[@Ssp-sv7dp]

He was a millionaire ..I think it was 5 million When he died

[@ruthusvaltas222]

Stompin Tom deserves to be on Canadas new $5.00 bill. He is a true Canadian who sang about Canadas history and the people he met along the way.

Keep coming back to watch this. No Canadian artist ever loved Canada as much as Stompin' Tom Connors. He is an icon.

[@skipperpat1]

How can anyone thumbs down a Canadian musical Icon ?!?! .....R I P STC.....your fellow Newfies will always respect you and your musical legend !!!

[@christinaelement797]

Tom Connors is in my opinion..a true Canadian Legend! We were raised on his songs therefore making him a complete connection to our lives! Thanks so much..❤❤❤❤

[@williamlinington9166]

He could have made millions in the US. One of my favourite performers. RIP Tom.

[@WalkingAccountant]

From Ontario(Toronto/Scarborough, so a city boy of sorts), and I love this song so much. So proud to be a Canadian that it makes me want to go out and meet new people every day because we are so awesome.

[@donweb9689]

He got this song right , gives me goosebumps , drove across Canada in 2011 with my uncle after my aunt died , God bless this country family and friends

Shame on radio stations, who did not play his music. He was a national treasure.

[@superdud124]

Shane?

[@HilaryMG]

Sad loss indeed. A great Canadian! as I listened to this song, I smiled at the words "a piece of PEI" as my roots are there thanks to my dad, even started life there and spent a number of years in Quebec, so hearing Tom singing this song got me a little emotional, and naturally of the sad passing of Stompin Tom .R.I.P you brought a lot of pleasure to a lot of people xxx

[@TheADHDantiquarian]

The amount of patriotism this made me feel, but not in necessarily a “traditional” sense, but rather in the way that I would love to welcome people here to be our guests and neighbours in a country as greats as this one!

[@Camman010]

Thank you Tom for singing about Canada.

[@davidhodgins7122]

Stompin Tom was a Legend in his own time and will be for all eternity. Likely the most patriotic Canadian that has ever lived, he makes me proud to be a Canadian. RIP Stompin Tom, you will live on for all time!

[@williamlinington9166]

One of my favourite songs. If we all had at least a quarter of the love he had for this country, we would be in much better shape.

Love Stompin Tom, but don't know all his songs. This was a great new old one that I looked up after the Petro Can ad.

[@DebsWombat]

Same here! Now in the Facebook days, most of my friends aren't Canadian - and the ones that are, are too young to remember much of Stompin' Tom. So this, I had to share.. every time I hear this song on the ad I start stomping (in bare feet on the tile floor like a complete idiot) and am momentarily annoyed that I'm not getting the sounds of a cowboy boot on plywood. 😂

14 years ago I did my best to get ST to attend a pre-death "funeral" for my hubby who had a couple of days to live After arrangements were made he disappeared...haven't heard anything about it since then...lol. I was advised however that if he's too drunk he wont be on the plane. Priceless. Didn't matter - still played his music all was great. Management did say it was a 50/50 chance he was going to attend - might as well take the chance.

[@Marrdini1]

a Canadian Icon!

[@hillbilly23]

I just got back from skinners pond. I think every canadian should visit and bring a designated driver. The stompin tom center has locals playing stompin tom in a bar. 10$ tour of his memorabilia and school. His old house is not ready yet but worth every cent.

[@bobramage6029]

Years ago, I thought that the plywood bit was a real gimic. Maybe it was. That is now a very moot point. I have developed an appreciation for the great talent and contributions to Canada by this great storyteller. Sorry that we lost him over 5 years ago.

[@randallgrant6175]

He'd have to replace the plywood often (as you can see) that's how he got his name.

[@noone-nd4ml]

He broke right through a stage somewhere when he didnt have the plywood

[@heatherduchene8779]

A true Canadian, rest in peace Tom.

[@prairiestrong4037]

My dad had all his records and this is how I got to appreciate his music. I still listen to STC’s music today, even have a bunch on my phone when I get nostalgic and remember my dad.

[@randallgrant6175]

Curtis Shukin, my parents had a couple of Stompin' Tom albums, and my father used to say: "If STC was an American, he'd be a millionaire" as I mentioned earlier, we as Canadians just don't appreciate our own enough.

[@MarilynNeilson]

Ano Elegance: I absolutely disagree with you. That blond-haired, middle-aged woman looked like she was choked up with emotion and the rest of the crowd looks as if they were hanging on Stompin' Tom's words. I was lucky enough to attend two of Stompin' Tom's concerts in Red Deer, Alberta, and I know for a fact that NO ONE was bored or as Daniel Kling said, "falling asleep". Just because an audience doesn't jump up and down and scream and yell doesn't mean they are not enjoying the music.
