Quotation of the Day for March 7, 2013
"It was a long hard bumpy road, but this great country kept me inspired with its beauty, character, and spirit, driving me to keep marching on and devoted to sing about its people and places that make Canada the greatest country in the world.
"I must now pass the torch, to all of you, to help keep the Maple Leaf flying high, and be the Patriot Canada needs now and in the future.
"I humbly thank you all, one last time, for allowing me in your homes, I hope I continue to bring a little bit of cheer into your lives from the work I have done."
- Stompin' Tom Connors, Canadian country-folk legend, in a letter released on his web site several days before his death at the age of 77 on Wednesday, March 6, 2013.
