Tom & Clemm:
I found this on line.
If Stan was named after his grandfather, Stanley Edward Rogers, then who was
his father; Emerson, Sheldon, Douglas, Nathan, Prescott or Charles Rogers?

Biography
Stan Rogers came from Hamilton, Ontario, a six-foot-four poet who started
out as a rock bassist before turning to folk music. With his rich voice, he
used his music to call to life all of the wonder and mysticism of his native
Canada. His singing is occasionally mistaken for that of Gordon Lightfoot,
but it's huskier and earthier than Lightfoot's, and his repertoire -- made
up of song cycles drawn from throughout Canada -- is also more
tradition-oriented and more mystical. Rogers died in a fire aboard an Air
Canada flight in Cincinnati, OH, in June 1983, leaving behind a half-dozen
albums. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
