Home in Halifax

(Redirected from Home In Halifax)

Home in Halifax is a 1993 live album by Stan Rogers.[1] It was recorded by the CBC during a concert Rogers performed at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium in Halifax, Nova Scotia in March 1982, 11 years prior. The concert was put together as a live radio and T.V. broadcast celebrating Rogers' annual appearance at the Cohn. The stage was decorated with a ship's mast, wheels, lobster traps and fishing nets. The live album also contains a never-before-released song called "Sailor's Rest".
