Stompin' Tom Connors

Stompin' Tom Connors can, arguably, be called Canada's Woody Guthrie. He is a singer-songwriter from Skinner's Pond, Prince Edward Island[?]. He has travelled to practically every town in Canada.

He got his nickname because he always stomps his foot when he is performing to the point where he places a board to prevent damage to the stage.

Some of his better-known songs, which usually include an explicit Canadian theme to them include:

Bud the Spud
The Hockey Song (a.k.a. The Good Old Hockey Game)
Big Joe Mufferaw
The Ketchup Song
