Goodbye out there.

I remember when I was like 13 or 14, he came to my town and played. A friend of mine was able to snag the busted up piece of plywood that he stomped on and Stompin' Tom autographed it for him. At the time, being goofy teenagers, we thought it was hillarious. Being older now, I would appreciate it a lot more of course. I haven't talked to that friend in years, but it would be cool if he still had it.

I like what MacLean’s magazine wrote about Stompin Tom Connors.
“Stompin’ Tom Connors knew a country without culture does not exist. A country that doesn’t know how to tell its own stories is illiterate and irrelevant—it doesn’t matter whether that means silly songs about potatoes or sweeping historical novels. This man knew that this land was rich with lore, teeming with heroes and weirdos and folks just trying to get by. And while his peers were chasing a buck beyond our borders, someone had to stay here, dammit, and make sure the rest of us—those still living here, still building this place, still raising children here—had some songs to sing.”

Read an article after he passed that he made those coming along on tour with him sign an agreement to sit up till 5 AM and drink with him every night. And he held them to it. Heheh, what a character. Woulda loved to have met and listened to him for an evening (or till 5 AM more likely).
