BK	Origins: Springhill Disaster/Ballad of Springhill (59* d)	RE: Help: Who wrote the song Springhill Desaster?	26 Feb 02
James Keelaghan has MANY "kick-ass" songs; he's a tremendously talented writer - and performer. My wife - a city girl - knew nothing of that song or event it memorializes. The other day we somewhat randomly choose "Margret's Museum" (about coal mining folk) to rent at a local video place. It was very depressing & she complained abt it. I said if the jacket had hinted it was really about miners, we'd have known it was depressing, 'cuz ALL mining stories are sad. (I come from the coal mining region of PA - of "coal cracker" stock.) Then I sang her a verse of Peggy's song, which she never heard me sing - in near 30 years of marraige. She didn't want to hear any more.. The realities of mining - tunnel or strip - are generally ugly. Cheers, BK
