	Stan Rogers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his finely-crafted, traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies.
		Rogers' life was cut tragically short when he died in an airliner accident on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.
		Rogers was born in Hamilton, Ontario, the eldest son of Nathan Allison "Al" Rogers and Valerie Rogers (née Bushell), two Maritimers who had relocated to Ontario in search of work shortly after their marriage in July 1948.

		Rogers' appearance at the 1975 Winnipeg Folk Festival has been cited as the turning point in his career; at the behest of the festival's artistic director, Mitch Podolak, Rogers recorded Fogarty's Cove, an LP of his own songs about the Maritimes, for Podolak's Barnswallow label.
		Rogers was en route home from an appearance at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas when he died in a fire aboard an Air Canada DC-9 at the Greater Cincinnati Airport.

	STAN ROGERS - Canadian Folk Music Artist - Poetic Justice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Stan was aware, only too poignantly, of the angst engendered in not being recognised for what it was you were trying to say - about being a man, a woman, a Canadian.
		Stan figured a poem was half a song: I figured a song was a poem with a crutch: eventually we both learned better.
		Stan wrote the music to order: "Give us a 200 year old folksong by next week, please!" Crafting his verses in a modular fashion, he simultneously reinforced plot points, provided bridging and time transitions, exlored unspoken motives, and carefully developed the tone of of the piece from lyricism to tragedy.

	Traditions and Identity in Scotland and Canada:: James Macpherson, Stan Rogers, Garnet Rogers
		Macpherson and the Rogers brothers turned to traditional poetry and song in their revival of the ballad; they turned to the oral roots of poetry and culture to help establish and reformulate the identity of countries whose identities were struggling to emerge.
		Stan and Garnet Rogers were interested in both discovering and writing a unified body of traditional songs and poetry Canada could call its own, distinct especially from its North American neighbour, in order to prevent Canada from being assimilated into "American" identity.
		Stan did not hesitate to change the lyrics and melody of songs written by his contemporaries, and when he did so, he considered it testimony to the deep respect he felt for a particular songwriter: "I only steal from the best" (Stan Rogers 1982c: 38).

	CANOE -- JAM! - Stan Rogers still a crowd-pleaser
		His name was Stan Rogers, and when he died in 1983, aged 33, the vast majority of Canadians were just beginning to feel that effect.
		Almost two decades later, it's a different story, for Rogers' fame continued to grow after his death and, in some circles, he is considered one of the greatest folksingers in Canadian history.
		Filled to overflowing with Rogers' often lilting and raucous tunes, it is not a book musical -- but considering Rogers' talent in creating vibrant characters and simple storylines in songs, most people aren't likely to notice.

	BARRETT'S PRIVATEERS - Stan Rogers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Perhaps Stan initially meant to set the song on the docks of Halifax in 1812, with this old veteran of the Revolution telling his sad tale, and then got carried away at the end of the song and changed the story.
		Rogers was a great history buff and read a lot of books,period, and a lot of them had to do with the sea, fiction and non-fiction, so it was inevitable that some (a lot) of it would come out in song.
		Stan is referring to the generally poor condition of the Antelope when he says "loose in stays".

		The show rightly does not attempt to be biographical, or to plumb the depths of Stan's complex being, but rather focuses on his music and stories.
		The night that I attended, the audience lept to its feet at the end of the show and everyone felt themselves to be a part of the stories which Stan had told through his songs.
		I overheard some folks in lobby talking about how sad it was that Stan passed away so young and wouldn't it have been amazing if his incredible body of work could have been expanded even more.

	Barrett's Privateer's Explored

		Stan Rogers, according to his mother, borrowed the "Elcid" from a friend because he liked its old fashioned sound.
		Eric Ruff curator of the Yarmouth County Museum once discussed this with Stan Rogers, who at first told him that "main truck" meant gun carriage but later took Eric's advice and decided use to use the explanation that it refers to the very top of the mast.

	John McLaughlin The Folk Life Conversation with Stan Rogers
		Stan: Well, he’s just tremendously well-respected, his songwriting is so perfectly crafted, it’s carefully researched, he does think carefully about what he sings, he’s a tremendous instrumentalist.
		Stan: "Front Runner" is also from that CBC folk-opera about the Olympics, and it’s a straight-ahead, hard-core, country-and-western waltz tune, with a Dobro and electric guitar and wailing back-up vocals.
		Stan’s music can be found on the website of the company founded by his wife, Ariel, after his death, and Garnet’s music is on his own website, the company founded by his mother, Valerie, who had been the mainstay of Stan’s publishing and recording efforts, before.

		Stan loved the road and performing was his life's-blood but he wanted very badly to be a lock keeper and this song sounds all the more emotional because of it.
