A local radio station has joined with a local credit union to give out memorial Stompin' Tom Connors (more HERE) buttons to people who make a donation to either Winnipeg Harvest or Siloam Mission. Here's a picture of mine (I contributed enough to get one for me and one for my son who loves Stompin' Tom!)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the Stompin' Tom posts!

I've been working my way through his books - great stuff!
DeleteI was sorry to hear Stompin' Tom passed away. I first heard his music while I was living in the Mojave Desert just north of L.A.
ReplyDeleteA lot of my favorite musical artists were from Canada, originally, so I thought I would "surf the net" and find out who the real Canadians were. That is how I "discovered" Stompin' Tom and Stan Rogers.
I even bought and read both auto-biographies that he wrote.
My children, all grown up now, still sing "Gumboot Clogeroo" and "Bugs".
So, who else is up there that I should know about?
RIP Stompin' Tom
My kids love Stompuin' Tom
DeleteHang around and I'll fill you in on lts more obscure Canadiana!
