Thread Name: Work Songs & Labor Movement
Subject: RE: Work Songs & Labor Movement
Wow!..I love it..I sort of forgot how vast the subject material is..I am downloading what we have so far, cuz I'd like to follow up on your suggestions, recordings & books. Shula, I think Hi Ho certainly qualifies with me..about first time I thought about work..John how would I go about finding that Greentrax..Joe, I already have Rise up Singing from there & love all things Seeger..I'll check it out. & Rich...I love it..with a knowledge of the melody, yet!..Describes some of my Bosses to a T! One final comment for this entry..not really a song, but a poem written by Jack London (Author Call of the Wild: heavily involved in labor movement)..starts, "After God created the toad & vampire, he had an awful substance left over with which he made a scab..." I've tried for years to locate it..Any help? ..Come to think of it, might be a great song, too!
