Stompin' Tom

I was around 8 years old when for my birthday I was given a little record player and a my first album.  The artist....  STOMPIN' TOM CONNORS.  And I was a city girl!  But he did have a couple of fun songs that were easy to sing to.
Never thought about ol' Tom or about that little pink and white record player for a very long time.  Until now, when I had the opportunity to go see Tom in concert. 
WOW.  At 75 his voice is still strong and he really is quite entertaining.  I was blown away at the ages of his audience!  There were a lot of young adults there, which was so cool to see.  Tom truly is a Canadian Icon, and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to see him.
It's neat how memories of the past can come back and bring a smile.
