      I'm American too, but growing up, my family and I used to go camping with a trailer on Prince Edward Island, or P.E.I. for short, and we did it every summer until I was a bit more half grown for their own reasons, and we did go in my final year of high school, but it wasn't our trailer, it was a cabin, well my parents in the next few years, they'll have a motorhome, and when I plan time off of work, the three of us, my mom, my dad, and I will go to P.E.I. again, just for old times sake, get back in that kind of groove we used to be in after so many years, but in a different style, and all that kind of camping we did then made my dad interested in this music, which then got me interested too. R.I.P. Tom.

    Tom also wrote Fire in The Mine, about a fire in the McIntyre mine in Schumacher, Ontario. Terrible tragedy, and Tom was in residence in Timmins, the next town over, when it happend. He was the music man in a bar in Timmins, The Maple Leaf Tavern. Used to drink there in my youth. He stomped a hole in the stage, so they gave him his first Stompin’ board. It used to hang on the wall there. Haven’t been back there since my parents died. Hope the Maple Leaf is still going strong. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

    I lived in Cleveland from '91 until '03, and with my (then) wife we met and befriended a bunch of Canadians from Mississauga who we'd go up to see at least once, sometimes twice a month. We were up there so much our friends named us "Honorary Canadians", and turned us on to Stompin' tom and The Tragically Hip. One weekend in the mid/late-'90's I drove up and me and the boys headed North and saw Stomping Tom in Peterborough at the arena there. I have his 1st book and several CD's, and rock them. We used to listen to his "Proud Canadian" compilation almost non-stop every time when we were partying. RIP Tom, from your biggest American fan! I also saw The Tragically Hip play in Cleveland. Also saw Rush (Signals) and Triumph twice (Rose Bowl and Us Festival '83), but sadly missed April Wine. Lots of good music and rock coming from my Canadian Brothers!

I really need to get the second one, but I think the first will still be the best because that covers his really rough life from a kid to when he FINALLY made it.

      @@jeffreybarkin3177 hi there. I managed a Brewers Retail Store in Toronto in those days. We went from 21 to 18, which was a disaster, and back up to 19 to try and get it out of the high schools. Of course, every 18 year old knows a 19 year old, so the "remedy" was pretty much a joke. The 19s used to roll in and fill the car with 2-4s for their friends/customers. Typical regulatory bollocks.
