I found his music online while on my first tour in Iraq in 2003-04. I can't tell you how much he helped me after getting blown up on patrol or a bad firefight. Singing along with him made the bad things go away. To this day, if im having a black day, we are singing together.
I can still hear me son in the washroom during the pandemic , washing his hands , and singing Barretts Priviteers , because they said that was how long you needed to wash to one verse . Loves ye Stan . Thanks or sharing this . I remember watching it on the tv .
I used to sail out of newport harbor in california, one friday night after we had cleaned the boat, we went looking for dinner on PCH. We walked into this little diner, that had a small stage with a barstool, and a mike, and I will never forget who the musician that night was, that was playing, just 15-20 people, and stan rogers just sitting there happily playing. You could not pay good money for something like that, it was magnificent. Thank you stan, for a beautiful night, and great memories that I still remember over 30 years later.
@@bdavis7801 I just bought the DVD, It is the same as this RUclips video, but I am glad that I got it. Enjoy his music, what a terrible shame he had to go so early, I think musicians should make it a religion to stay away from aircraft.
Stan was an artist's artist. He never did what he did for fame or glory, he did it for the love of his craft and his love for his fellow countrymen. He's a model of a good person in my view.
I bought a copy of the DVD. I come too late to Stan's amazing music. Or perhaps not. I wish peace and happiness to Garnet and the rest of Stan's family. He is well loved in the USA.
I have been a fan of Stan for many years, but unfortunately, I only learned of his music after he had died and I never saw him perform live. But it is great seeing him sing in this video. And, I love his wife's face.
Thanks for the upload - I was born in 2002 and the words of this documentary regarding young people ring true. For many of his newer fans, his music was first discovered through memes and the internet’s affinity of sea shanties. If only he knew just how popular he would become, over forty years later…
Found him because of a meme. I wish I could thank the person who made that. One of the many ways the internet is great. I tell anyone who will listen how great Stan is. (Meme) Women thoughts… I bet he’s somewhere cheating on me. Me and the boys… 3 wine bottles deep. They were singing Barrett’s Privateers. They look like they were having the best time.
I was introduced to the music of Stan Rogers, long after the tragedy of his death, by his friend and fellow folk singer Eric Bogle. Though separated by continents, these two "people's poets" managed to distill the essence of what it means to be ordinary and yet extraordinary both at the same time. As long as we continue to care for each other and for the real issues of life, there will be room enough for musical giants like Stan and Eric. Heartfelt thanks to you both. You are immortal.
He’s the spirit of the maritimes… while he was born, and grew up in Ontario, his familial roots lie deep within the Atlantic provinces, and the summers he spent in Nova Scotia shaped him and his musical style into the quintessential Atlantic Canadian shanty and folk music… that said, he spoke to all parts of Canadian maritime history. On top of that; the man died a tragic death, yet the lore of his early demise paints a heroic picture of the man. His ashes were spread along the north eastern shore of Nova Scotia, where hopefully he can enjoy the sea side in eternity.
I haven’t lost the passion for this country, and I know a lot of Maritimes haven’t either. Can’t speak for the rest of the country, but I’ve noticed as each generation grows up with everything, including too much time feeding their screen addictions, they expect the government to provide them with everything. I wish more younger generations spent more time connecting with friends outdoors. It’s hard to appreciate your country if you’re not doing some actual living in it.

In the midst of the Pennines hills, in the NW of England his songs are still sung - every week.
Rise again! Stan Rogers was one of kind!
Thanks for sharing this old doc! I've been looking for it for years!

Something similar. I am a police officer and on the bad days I listen to his music and just feel so much calmer after.
I work in the oilfield and discovered his music online too. Gives me chills brother.
I can still hear me son in the washroom during the pandemic , washing his hands , and singing Barretts Priviteers , because they said that was how long you needed to wash to one verse . Loves ye Stan . Thanks or sharing this . I remember watching it on the tv .

From an Alberta oilfield worker God bless you sir, a son of this once great country RIP Stan.
Gone too soon. "The Idiot" got me through a decent recent portion of my life. A hearty thanks to Stan from Florida!
I wanted this documentary to last forever 🥹
💯
Stan and Garnet's voices together were just unmatched. The clip towards the beginning of them singing Northwest Passage's chorus is haunting.
Garnet has continued to sing, and has written a nice fat book about their lives called Night Drive.
I have been a fan of Stan for many years, but unfortunately, I only learned of his music after he had died and I never saw him perform live. But it is great seeing him sing in this video. And, I love his wife's face.
What sheer, unbridled, genuine talent.
A completely timeless singer and musician.
Stan is the man!
I have never seen this but the tears in my eyes. Ahh Stan, you're sorely missed more than you can know.
If only I could find a time machine so I could go see him play

He has a voice like no other. He puts such intense feeling into his music. Certainly leaves an unforgetable and lasting impression.
We all have a voice like no other.

I think I found him from the same meme!
Because they were!
Can you link the meme?
@@xlyg343No, nobody can post links in replies on RUclips.

This feels less like a documentary and more like a collection of music videos :D
And thats a bad thing?
@@bobcumby6485 Mmm, fair. Still a bit odd though.
Thank you so much for posting. We have to preserve this documentary and Stan's legacy and making it accessible this way is how that happens.

I cry.
We've lost the passion for this country this gentleman rekindles it for me at least❤🇨🇦

I've liked sea shanties long before Wellerman was a thing, so I came to his music as a folkie and not a hipster. This is a fantastic documentary!
many thanks for uploading this! A long time fan from Germany
0:50 High praise for Stan from Francis Ford Coppola himself.
FFC is a pdf-file
Amazing and thanks
Who is the first person, beard/glasses, that speaks in this doc? He never returns and his name is not given.
His name was Mitch Podolak.

Francis Ford Coppola
He reminds me of Ewan McColl.
