The theme on this edition of Stranger Songs is Remembering Ron Hynes, the great Newfoundland singer-songwriter who died of cancer in 2015. All of the songs on the show were written, or co-written, by Ron.
The photo of Ron and me was taken in 2007 at the Branches & Roots Festival in Ormstown, Quebec.
