No one sings better and more regularly about drowning fisherman than Canadians.

Oh man, I just learned today that he died so young. :( Such a tragedy. But his music lives on, and I'll pass it on to my kids one day!

RIP Stan Rogers and RIP to all of those the seas and lakes have taken.

RIP Stan Rogers, you are sorely missed. You wrote so much beautiful and important music and we wish you were still here making sense of all this.

I never heard of Stan Rogers or White Squall before I saw Enter the Haggis perform the song. They made a point of introducing that is was written by Rogers and that they were singing it a a tribute to him. Rogers puts such Heart and Soul into this song which is what makes this a song for the Centuries, plus any one who know the Lakes/Seas can relate!!!

Wiarton is on Georgian Bay, part of Lake Huron. It is a small town on a cove on the Bruce Peninsula. The Soo refers to the Soo Canals, near Sault Ste. Marie on the border of Ontario and Michigan's Upper Peninsula, connecting Lake Huron to Lake Superior.

Stan Rogers, *The White Squall*. A far more powerful song of Great Lakes storms than Lightfoot's better known, *The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald*. Stan's ability to capture nature and humanity at an intimate personal level was unparalleled.---Now it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to doBut watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo',And wonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the railAnd whirl off one more youngster in the gale.The kid was so damned eager. It was all so big and new.You never had to tell him twice, or find him work to do.And evenings on the mess deck he was always first to sing,And show us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring.CHORUSBut I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,And her lover's gone into a white squall.CHORUSNow it's a thing that us oldtimers know. In a sultry summer calmThere comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb.And a fifteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beamWhile the gale takes all before it with a scream.The kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky.From where I stood I swear I could see tears fall from his eyes.So I hadn't the heart to tell him that he should be on a line,Even on a night so warm and fine.CHORUSWhen it struck, he sat up with a start; I roared to him, "Get down!"But for all that he could hear, I could as well not made a sound.So, I clung there to the stanchions, and I felt my face go pale,As he crawled hand over hand along the rail.I could feel her keeling over with the fury of the blow.I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow.Then, like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright again.Far overside. I heard him call my name.CHORUSSo it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to doBut watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo',And wonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the railAnd whirl off one more youngster in the gale.But I tell these kids a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,And her lover's gone into a white squall.

Ariel Rogers has permitted the use of lyrics from this song for "The Drifters." Thank you, Ariel, and thank you, Stan...we lost you far too soon... #music #writing #YA 

Bob Heiss

Such a great song, probably as strong and touching as any song he ever did.

I'm hoping you don't mind that I mention that as of this year, Nova Scotians (bluenosers) commemorate "Mariners Day" on the 2nd Sunday in August, honouring all of those who make their living on the water especially those who've lost their lives doing so.

CAPERKELLY

How was it, the festival ? Just happened upon your reply in mail...LOL.

Elizabeth Long

Thank you!

Piper McMillian

HAUNTING. I feel tears every single time I listen. To see those waters and think of the stories all revolving around them, my god...

I had a very similar experience to yours. I felt a little like that Wiarton girl - how could he be gone already; I just found him... RIP Stan Rogers... I'm a proud US citizen, but I become a tiny bit Canadian every time I listen to you.
