JUST ONE MORE THING....ABOUT STOMPIN TOM CONNORS....

I found what was written on him headstone very moving....what more can be said, about anyone...

His head stone reads:

The body has returned to sod,
The spirit has returned to God.
So on this spot, no need for grief,
Here only lies a fallen leaf.

Until new blossoms form in time,
The tree is where I now reside.
But with this poem, as you can see,
They haven’t heard the last of me.

....very fitting!!

TRULY CANADIAN

I have included a couple of his songs. He became very well known for being Canadian and being proud of it! Market Place was a good CBC program to help consumers that aired every week...He sang the theme song! Most people think of Hockey as being Canada's National sport, he also sang that theme song as well....
