senoritafishI can't believe I have never looked up anything about Stan Rogers. It occurred to me at work today while I was listening to "From Fresh Water." I did not discover his music until 10 years after he died, and after looking at this site I found that he was much younger than I realized. He was only 33 when he died in 1983. What a voice - it gives me goose pimples and makes me weak in the knees. Unless you don't care for folk music, click his name there, let the little Flash thingie load, and see if that gorgeous baritone doesn't affect you. Makes me wish I were Canadian so I could claim him too.
It used to be a fantasy of mine that someone would sing to me (or with me) in voice like that. I love John dearly ( wow, I said it); unfortunately he can't carry a tune in a bucket. But we danced to "Forty-five Years" at our wedding, he in his medieval kilt and me in my bodice with russet laces and long green skirt, and I sang along with it for him. I hope it was a good omen for us.
"And I want to see your smilin' face forty-five years from now."
