Stan Allison Rogers is considered by many to be the greatest of all Canadian folksingers. Born in Hamilton, Ontario, he was surrounded by many styles of music throughout his childhood. He had often spent summers with relatives in Nova Scotia where he wrote down his observations and later transformed them into songs about ordinary working folks. Those songs, and others like them, gave a new voice to those who worked the fisheries, mines, and farms all across Canada. He loved performing and the people about whom he wrote. Stan Rogers was a passionate and enthusiastic artist whose creative life was tragically cut short from smoke inhalation along with 22 other passengers on Air Canada flight 797.
