Ron Hynes - Sonnys Dream
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Ron Hynes performs his best known classic for the packed house at the ECMA ShowCase at the Pub Flamingo. Although technically, this was the 3rd year for the event, it was actually the first one under the ECMA banner, which added Newfoundland talent to the Mix of the Previous Maritime Music Awards. The first few years had little TV coverage, so in a lot of cases, I have the only footage of the early stuff.......Soon after, the big TV stations jumped on board and pretty much denied us access to shoot, or I would have footage of those as well :)
I am 51 years old. Canadian. I heard this song for the first time today. Tears. What an amazing song. Where the hell have I been.
Glad I got to introduce you to Ron. On the East Coast, he was a fixture of the music scene. To Newfoundlanders he was one of their favourite native sons and this song in particular is pretty much their provincial anthem 😄
RIP, Ron. I'm having a beer and listening to your music in your memories. Cheers!
+Metropolis Noir Me Too.
Same here my buddy , living on the memories !
+Jared John Spencer Same her with some rum.
RIP Ron Hynes.......thanks for the tunes !
I'm here ! October 2024. I've known this since the 80's, my Uncle ( Irish ) used to sing it. I adore it. It holds so much memories of Him and my Dad x
My God I love it live. So much more feeling in it...
I agree. I've seen Ron a few dozen times solo and with the Wonderful Grand Band and this was by far my fav performance so was really happy to have the camera pointed in the right direction for this one 😄
Sad news about his death today Miss you and God bless you for the great music...
Rest In Peace Ron, grew up listening to this song as a kid. You will be remembered
I am from Newfoundland and I don't listen to much Newfie music but this song gets me everytime I love it !!
pam2k9 Good to hear...... Does the same to me and I'm not from Newfoundland (CLOSE tho....I'm from Cape Breton originally!)
This is a great piece of footage. Thanks for posting!
+Dave Cooper You're Welcome
Just heard the most tragic news ever tonight Thursday November 19th 2015 the great and legendary Ron hynes has passed on RIP Ron
Sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Wonderful composer. Rest in peace.
We lost a legend this day. Godspeed Ron. RIP.
Grew up in Nova Scotia. This song is one of my earliest memories of a song from the radio that spoke to me and moved me , the rest was just stuff my parents listened to in the car. As a young child I thought it was the saddest song I had ever heard ,and still do to this day. I dont know if my heart broke more for Sonny or his mom. And why didn't anyone ever take Sonny to Town?
Glad you found and enjoyed it. I remember feeling a lot of those same feelings the day I recorded this :) Thanks for watching
Great song and musician !
backyardmech Agreed!

Harry Jamm yea
Love this song so can relate wonderful song writer and singer I will miss you
LOVE IT.
Thanks :) Nice to see it being enjoyed.
you will be missed.
Very talented song writer!! This has been a favourite of mine since I was a kid.. coming from a family of Capers, this type of music was common growing up..
The same with me....which is why I was there to record it in the first place. Oddly enough of all the stuff I've shot, it's this and the Rankins from the same event that have the most hits, so I assume we are not alone 😄
R.I.P. Good Sir. Thank you for the sweet sounds.
Great video, I am sure my mother was there, she was a loyal fan for early on. I watched half hoping to see a glimpse of her.
+Blair Hyslop There is more footage of that weekend in the chan that would likely have more crowd shots if you wanted to check. the Rankins I believe have a few extended crowd shots during their encore, Thanks for watching
R.I.P Ron, Wont be forgotten
