Although another chapter in the book, stompin Tom Connors sucker punched me in his basement on or about 2002.
True story.

I hope you didn't take it personal.
That's just how the Irish say hello.
Lol

No way! crazy story. Do tell more.
Are you writing a book? Cool.

Here is my favorite stomping Tom songs.

Just happened to find this thread yesterday and have not listened to some of these songs for years. Dug out some of my old Buzz Martin records that I bought back in 1969 when I was setting chokers in Coos Bay. Alot has gone on since then.

Behold the brave logger
A Giant assassin for hire
Sharp gleams his blade
Bright glows his jolly fire

No kink in his chain
No hockle in his rope
A beard hides his grin
His ox logs down slope

When the wood chips fly
When he yells out timber
The giant moans in reply
Then falls to ground in surrender

Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe and saw.......

Oh. They had bigger houses they lead fuller lives. They drove newer pickups They had fatter wives.
Now their dead and burried. And I'm still alive.
And it's all a big mystery
That the graveyards are full of Fallers
Who were faster an better than me.

I can't remember the artist.
But I cut timber with a bunch of guys that cut with him.
He cut for one outfit on PoW the year before I did.
