snowywolfowlI can't honestly say I was ever a huge Stompin' Tom Connors fan but he was one of the first Canadian artists to show that you could have a career singing about the Canadian experience. I don't think it's too far of a stretch to say that the Canadian music scene owes a huge debt to guys like him and Stan Rogers.
Plus songs like "Bud the Spud", "The Good Old Hockey Game" and "Sudbury Saturday Night" are part of the soundtrack of my childhood, since even when I was in elementary school the lyrics to some of his songs were in my language arts books.
Farewell sir, you will be missed.
In his honour here's a nice country song of Canadian revenge. After all hell hath no fury like a Newfoundland farm girl who feels her new clock is cheap junk:
