Rogers sang of the death of the fisherman culture in E Canada....Tyson sings of the death of the Cowboy/Western life.....what will we become when we have lost all ties to nature.
"For we still keep our time to the turn of the tide, in this boat that I built with my father, still lifts to the sky, the one-lunger and I still talk like old friends on the water." Those lines are as powerful as any that have ever been written.
Whenever I hear this song I am amazed at how well Stan predicted the death of the fishery with a clear view of the causes that the experts figured out years later.
Remember well those one longer seagull outboard. The had a mechanical switch that let engine fire once each rotation and were nicknamed "make and break" for how they functioned. Little insider treat from Stan
You pieces are moving and get at a true kind perception and caring. Hope to find any recordings you may have made with a search.
Great stuff and may you find the voice to write and record many more. The world needs more of this and less of the shallow pop crap.

we used to have wooden boats and iron men. now we have iron boats and wooden men.

"Make and break and make do". My grandmother, who lived through the great depression, always said "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without".

How could 17 people not love this sure are miserable people in this world.
