    There’s not a night in this city of Halifax Nova Scotia that the song doesn’t get performed, along with an enthusiastic crowd, complete with claps and table thumps

    Our son has gotten into the Dreadnoughts lately, so I knew who Stan Rogers was. It’s great that Michael knew it once it started.

    Buble has obviously not spent enough time in The Lower Deck. Stephen would fit right in though.

    I tell everyone I was ahead of the sea shanty craze.

    I usually watch Steven’s monologue before turning in, but since he was interviewing Buble, I decided to watch a bit more of the show. I damned near fell out of bed when he asked Michael if he knew Stan Rogers and had ever heard of Barrett’s Privateers. I’m a born and bred Maritimer and lived in Halifax for nine years. Anytime that song is sung in a pub, EVERYONE joins in, singing at the top of their voices and thumping the tables and floorboards. I have been a Stan Rogers fan forever, and remember the sad day when he died in that Air Canada plane fire in Cincinnati back in 1983. Stephen, you have been to New Zealand. I think you should also experience the rare treat of visiting Halifax and joining in a cappella in a crowded pub like the Lower Deck singing a rendition of Barrett’s Privateers. I guarantee you won’t forget the experience. Cheers!

    Sometimes Stephen reminds me of my dad, he would bust out singing Irish songs.
