Including a show at The Stan Rogers Folk Festival in 2006... What a thrill that was, ha!!! I'm not sure how many of "Stan's" tunes we do, but t'is probably 15 - 20... Most gigs where we've performed, we're pretty much guaranteed to be asked at least one same question... "Do you chaps do any Stan Rogers tunes"??? Of course we then break into 2 or 3, as I never do just one "Stan" song... And "Barrett's Privateers", rest assured, is requested in 95% of the pubs here in Atlantic Canada... We recorded and released our third CD last spring, entitled "Folk Songs & Sea Shanty's", 1/2 of the tunes being our own compositions, the rest Cover Tunes... What an honour and privilege it was for us all, to record "The Mary Ellen Carter"... "Stan's" music and legacy will live on, many years long after the Good Lord takes me from this place... When I get to Heaven, I hope to have the chance to meet Stan, say hello, and maybe even share a tune together... One thing for certain, I'll be thanking him for the music and stories he left us to enjoy... Cheers Folks...

I have been listening to Stan Rogers since like 1996 ... LOVE him, and "Barrett's" is one of my favorite songs of his. He has the most beautiful baritone ... whenever I drive through Wiarton, I think of "White Squall" ... after discovering him, I was so disheartened to find out that he had passed. ZOMG!
