    Remembering Stan Rogers (1949-1983)

    Stan Rogers wrote a line in his song, Let Me Fish Off Cape St Mary's:

    And when I reach that last big shoal,
    Where the groundswells break asunder,
    Where the wild sands roll to the surge's toll,
    Let me be a man and take it,
    When my dory fails to make it.


    Stan Rogers was 33 when he died due to smoke inhalation and burns while a passenger on a commercial aircraft flying home to Canada. "He will not grow old, as we grow old".

    The CBC remembered Stan Rogers in the linked "Rewind" program (53 minutes). http://www.cbc.ca/radio/rewind/stan-...rt-2-1.3239078

    When people pass away but leave some precious creations behind, they do seem timeless beings whatever the art form but music is especially memorable.
    As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
