Filmed in Vancouver, Canada and originally aired on CBC Television on December 4th, 1977. Special Guests include David Gates (From the group "Bread") Will Millar & Jimmy Ferguson (From The Group "Irish Rovers") and Catherine McKinnon (Gordon Tapp's wife-- Mr. Tapp was one of the regulars on "Hee Haw").

So good! Was it broadcast before August 16? Maybe Elvis watched.

Did it air in the U.S.?

I would have remembered a night like that.

When is the blu-ray release date?

Which clip has "The :Last Farewell"?

Imagine hearing it in 5.1 surround sound?

Part 3 @ 3:27. The instrumental intro was left out/clipped due to bad editing/transferring of the video, unfortunately.

Well, you better watch the whole darn thing!

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor.........

Oh, man. That gives me chills.

All the more reason for a blu-ray, 5.1 surround sound reissue.

I know , it is a travesty beyond human understanding. So tragic. I demand a DVD/Blu-Ray of this gem of a special, fully restored with 5.1 Dolby Surround immediately !!!

Everybody loves Roger, outstanding artist over decades, unique style, and the best darn whistler ever.
