Tribute to Stompin' Tom Connors who passed away on Wednesday.... Canadian icon/legend best known for "the good ole hockey game"... a song all Canadians know. The shot is an oldie... taken with an actual camera before I had the iPhone. I'm on my way to the Arctic Circle during solstice... the vast Dempster Highway before me.
Live version of Sudbury Saturday Night... you'll see why he was so loved!

@Rick: Even though Stompin' Tom wasn't a regular on my playlist... I still kind of can't believe he's gone. :-( The solstice trip is over, unfortunately... I took it back in 2010. It was amazing... the trip of a lifetime! I'll probably hang in Van this year... we usually play a festival in town. Have a blast in Kensington!
