HALIFAX – The province of Nova Scotia was shaken, today, after revelations that beloved folk musician, the late-Stan Rogers, was, in fact, a longtime resident of Binbrook, Ontario. Halifax Mayor Mike Savage was first to deliver the news to the public. Speaking from a podium on the city’s famed waterfront, he began “I don’t take […]
Northwest Passage. This is so great. When I had a radio show Stan Rogers was one of the musicians I got to interview. Among many fun musicians I met he stood out as an intelligent, steady, and kind human being. His loss in a plane crash was tragic.
Plus I’ve always been fascinated by the Franklin expedition and this is a wonderful take on it. #music #StanRogers

Episode two hundred and three is up now! Today's song is The Mary Ellen Carter by Stan Rogers.
I discuss the story of the song's uplifting lyrics, the story of how this song saved a man's life, and sob through the back half of the episode.

@paulbusch read this and thought of the song MacDonnell on the Heights - Stan Rogers. Though the titular person is not Sir Isaac Brock, this song is my only still-memorable brush with these events in our history.

In a corner of the monument to glory you could claim
But not one in ten thousand knows your name
