Subject: RE: Songs about Contingent Workers
Search the Fourm for "king Cotton" (child Labor). There's a small thread mentioning David Massingale's "My Name Joe" also try the DT for "Crooked Jack" written by one of the Behams to the tune of "Star of the County Down". The "Idle Wielder" (Scottish-ship building), this I have no backround on only that I got it from an old roommate RiGGy (Ricky) Rackin but I'm very close by so I could give you the words here & the tune I could send via phone. You didn't say if you looking for new material or also including old songs too? As an aside, my wife as a child used to watch your (channel 2?) folk program & has still remained quite the fan of yours. Good Luck. Barry
