STAN ROGERS

The late Stan Rogers penned the song  “White Squall”  on this CD which tells the tale of a young deckhand out on a Wiarton freighter.  The ship was bound for Lake Superior one fine summer evening. The boy was lying on the foredeck, lost in dreams of his girl - when a rogue wind threw the ship over on it’s side.  A green wave washed the deck and he was lost.  The first mate knew the lad should have been tethered in....

“ and 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... tonight a red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall....for her lover’s gone into a white squall”
