Happy Birthday Stan Rogers!

I missed that last concert of his at the Birchmere, which I'll always regret. One of the best folk singers, ever; and probably the greatest to come out of Canada. Beautiful voice and a top-notch songwriter. As an habitue of Lost Causes, I can tell you that his tune "Mary Ellen Carter" is practically the national anthem of such. Predictions are always a tricky thing, but I really thought he was the one who would return folk music to a large mainstream audience in the States. He was just so good...
