"Stompin" Tom Conners, C&W singer and song writer has died at age 77. He wrote the "Hockey Song" and was considered by most as a "good Canadian kid".
RIP Stompin

He was a truly great Canadian. At least we have his songs.
RIP Stompin Tom.

He'll always be "Bud the Spud from the bright red mud". (PEI) Not born here but raised here, just up the road from where I sit right now.
IMO his best song "Sudbury Saturday night" |

One news report said he had recorded a bunch of material (4 albums worth) that hasn't been realised.
R.I.P.

My wife loved his stuff, she's not much of a country music fan, but she loved the humour in his songs.
She saw him a few times in concert with her dad.
