    My dad was Robert Cusick, the man who sang this song to inspire him to live through that terrible night in the lifeboat. We lost him two weeks ago, and I sang this at his funeral. Thank you Stan for giving me an extra 30 years with him.
    I'm sure they're raising a jar together on the other side......

      Hello Carol. I see I am 4 years belated, but I offer you my sincere condolences on the loss of your father. I was recently suicidal after a confluence of things, and 13 years as a Paramedic has done a lot of damage to my psyche. But enough about me, Your Dad's story and Stan's song are inspirational, and 34 years after Stan died, his music is still saving lives. I wish you all the best, and I am willing to bet, Stan and Robert are indeed raising a jar together on the other side.

      CarolMuzik, so sorry for your loss. Thanks to Stan, many lives have been saved. Stan's song has helped my spirit to rise out of darkness time and again. We are blessed by the lives of both men. Robert Cusic's tireless work helped to start the Coast Guard's swimmer rescue program, and get survival suits put in all merchant ships. And Stan, well, those who listen here know, love, and honor Stan's legacy. May you be blessed in your life.

    I directed the live concert video in this clip for the Philadelphia Folk Festival in August of 1982. It was my first year directing for that event and I requested the Stan Rogers set because I was such a fan. It helped to know the music in advance when it came to pointing the cameras. Great to see it again in this context.

      Kevin, this is incredible information. This video and song have been a deep part of me from my youth, through my time in the navy and now later on in life. I had no idea this was from Fest, some 15 years after seeing it for the first time myself.
      I performed for the first time at Fest last summer, and my life has taken quite a turn since. I won't go into specifics, but at this very moment the song is once again very important to me.
      It feels like some sort of spirit directed me to read the comments this time, and I'm glad I did. To now know that this performance of Stan's, perhaps the way I can only know him, took place at the same event which I have an emotional connection as well.
      Stan passed before I was born, and in fact this documentary was released the same year I was born, but I'm eternally grateful for his music and spirit. And now to you Kevin, for being another link between myself and this song which has kept me going for years. Cheers.
      PS I wish I could post a pic but I am literally wearing last year's Folk Fest t-shirt right now!

    For those who don't already know, although Stan is gone, he lives on in his brother Garnet, and son Nathan, who both share their gifts with us as entertainers, and who each is a special talent in his own right. Also, every July, folk/blues/country/bluegrass musicians from many countries gather in Canso Nova Scotia to celebrate his music, and music in general. It's called Stanfest.

They all look happy, maybe cause doing this song meant the end of the show. Ha! A rare moment, we have so little film of Stan. Thanks to whomever recorded this video, you saved us (and especially me) a fine example of what made Stan so memorable a performer. Thanks!

The plane did an emergency landing in Cincinnati. When the doors opened they all started piling out - but apparently about 90 seconds later, the oxygen ignited a flash fire inside the plane. Stan and 22 others died - and 23 lived. As a result of this tragedy, new aviation regulation ensured lavatories were installed with smoke detectors and running lights were added along the floors of planes.

    • @arslongavitabrevis7241
      @arslongavitabrevis7241 9 років тому +15

      +Troy Easson ---Read The Sea Shall Free Them by Robert Frump, beyond listening to the words of Cusick in the video above and you will learn that Robert Cusick loved listening to Stan's music and it was this "tale" this "...song that came into Bob Cusick's mind and he could not get rid of it" (Frump). In the tale the ship was "sunk due to a careless owners cheapness and how the crew went back to raise it from the depths".(Frump) Too often mariners are put at risk by cheap owners not keeping up proper maintenance on old boats that should be retired, old boats they depend for their lives on. Stan Rogers is a genius at recreating truths through tales. There are many sailors who have been there and that is why the songs hit home, why they are so powerful. Beyond that he has a gift for speaking to universal experience and in the end...yes Bob Cusick fought for his life with this song and today it is inspiring many others through tough times. Stan Rogers was also going to write a song about Cusick but he died in a plane fire before he could. This absolutely crushed Cusick when it happened, put him in a "deep funk". Cusick is mentioned in one of his songs though. I never doubt the origin of Stan Rogers songs, they come from his heart. It was said he was clear of the fire but turned back to help others get out. Chapter 22 and 23. Some one needs to write a song about both these men. Book is one of the best, but they need a song too.

    To Stan
    Throughout my life music was an ever important and growing passion for me, inspired at an early age by the sounds I know associate with my parents and grandparents. Through my mother came tastes of inspiration music and pop, providing the theme music of so many of my childhood memories. Then came rock through my father, Queen becoming perhaps my all time favourite band. The sounds of country and gospel music radiated from my grandparents lounge which, along with these other sounds, set me down paths of musical discovery I’m glad I was not ignorant to. As the years passed my repertoire and ear evolved with many favourite artists coming, going and staying. Of all the genres artists like Leadbelly, Hank Williams, Luke Kelly and the like came to the forefront of my mind, captivating me through the simplistic but Meaningful writing, relayed in voices that new true pain and hardship, all the highs and lows of life alone and forsaken. I still remember when your music came into my life; a mistaken click on a UA-cam video and the sound of Barrett’s Privateers came belting into my mind, forever changing my journey through music. It became an inspiration, as every song that I heard sound better than the last. Not a fault I could find among them. Never had I found an artist that could put such eloquent word to music in what seemed like effortless work. It roused visions of working class life and seafaring which, although I can stake no claim to being through the works, inspired me as if I too had faced tremendous trial and monotony. All this at a time when I was broken, my mind ever working against me. When I was down your music, your legacy, was there to raise me up or ease my mind. Never have I felt such a strong connection to music or a musician. It’s as though every song is sung to me personally, conveying stories meant for the most sincere listeners. How I needed those sweet sounds then. How I still need them.
    I listened to all of your albums, hurting me as the realisation of just how few you recorded. Your early death breaks my heart. Twenty years before my birth you died, saving people you’d never met, would never have known, like a true hero. The kind everyone should know. Your beautiful soul lives on through those life’s you helped save and the ones you touched through your actions and your music. Many a time I’ve been brought to tears thinking of the songs that have gone unsung and the life you never had. If I could bring back any singer it would be you, even if you never picked up a twelve string again. You deserved a full life. One that saw you gain far more attention and notoriety than what you have. It pleases me to see more people find your name and be amazed at your music. That adds to the tears. Your music means more to me than any other, for its sincerity and composition. I can proudly belt out Barrett’s Privateers or Northwest Passage, Straight and True or The Idiot. They are songs of work, strife and overcoming odds. They became like medicine, healing my mind and soul as they brought me out of a dark place. If I hadn’t had your music I don’t know how I would have faired. Some may find that pathetic, that I’m lousy or pretentious but Stan, I couldn’t care less. If your music was the only music I could hear for the rest of my life I’d die happy. It’s feels so much more personal than any other musician I’ve ever loved, much more. Mary Ellen Carter is an inspiration to me just the same as it is to many. As is 45 Years. They make me feel anything is possible, through commitment and work it all comes to the surface. It’s music I love to share with people. I could sit on a boat all night, belting away your tunes. It’d be truly beautiful.
    Thinking back, I found your music at one of the lowest points of my life. I was depressed, struggling so much in school. Reeling in the wake of the household my step father had left behind. My grandmother soon passed and my life just seemed so low. I can honestly say your music carried me through that. Mary Ellen Carter was unbelievable motivation to me and I know it has been for so many others. Fuck, I’m scared to think of how I would have coped without it. Through your music I was connected to so many other beautiful musicians but you’ll remain as the dearest to my heart. You’re loved, you’re listened to and you’re gravely missed. They say there are three deaths; the first when the body dies, the second when your buried or cast to the four winds, and the third when your name is said for the last time. Be reassured, for your third death won’t ever come as your name will be talked of for centuries.

    This song saved lives two times over! I was at the San Francisco shanty sing not long after hurricane Sandy. A survivor of The Bounty sinking was there. He said that b/c of Robert Cusick's survival, the Coast Guard extended the amount of time they would look for survivors in the Atlantic--and he was rescued because of that time extension.

    I am so very sad that this man and his awesome, beautiful talent are gone. His songs ring in my blood, they are part of my heritage, from Ireland, Nova Scotia, Boston...I am so upset that he is no longer with us. His music is absolutely incredibly beautiful. Damn. So happy though that recordings survive!

    I saw several of Stan’ performances on large and small stages. I was preparing to go on a maritime province tour with Garnett and Stan, and several other bands.-the Great Canadian Folk Music Express . When I got the call that shocked me as deeply as any ever has. Such a loss.
    Garnett and the rest of us did the tour with heavy and empty hearts. Touring New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island in 18 shows. We were all in shock and grief. But this song held us together and always lifted everyone.
    Over the last forty years I have heard it played at many friend’s funeral.
    I hope it will be played at mine.
    Such a loss and such a gift. … Rise again. Love you Garnett and Stan ❤

Folk music has always been my favorite, having been raised on the music of The Limeliters, The Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul and Mary, among others. I came to UA-cam to listen to Stan’s music and was immediately hooked. He had a wonderful voice and ability for story telling and his death was a huge loss for the world of music as a whole. My condolences to his family and friends and everyone affected by his far-too-early death. 😢❤️🎶

    Today (June 2) is the 25th anniversary of his untimely death in an airline fire in Cinncinatti (on his way home to Canada) after a concert in Dallas.
    A great loss to folk music everywhere!!
