Stompin Tom Connors

Lance Jungmeyer chiming in ...

Country music is corny, a lot of people think.

Well this Canadian country music is downright "spudtacular." According to some comments on YouTube, Stompin Tom Connors is quite the celebrity in Canada, that people will pay good money to buy the slabs of wood that he stomps on while onstage. I don't believe it, but if you're looking for a Friday afternoon break from the action, this might be it.



Stompin Tom evidently has a thing for potatoes. In another song, he sings "Ketchup loves potatoes" as he gives a shout-out to Prince Edward Island potatoes and Leamington, Ontario, tomato producers. I will not vouch for this music, but it's worth a laugh.
