The docu we watched was "A Walk Through the 20th Century with Bill Moyers: Out of the Depths - The Miners' Story." It had a beautiful song at the end which included words about "not going home for a long time," if I remember correctly. I've looked for the credits, but could find none. At least it looks as though it is available through libraries and for sale. It was excellent.

We watched the following on CNN, this morning, and the delivery, in his West Virginia accent, simple and direct, was stunning and I kept hearing his words as song, for he had the natural rhythm and cadences of a storyteller/singer. You can watch the clip and hear for yourself on this page.

JOHN CASTO, FRIEND OF MINERS: Well, it was a terrible thing for the loved ones because they understood that there was 12 of them alive under there, and they was pretty sure they knew which one was dead. And we rejoiced for the ones that was alive and we mourned for the one that was lost, supposedly.

And we was told that the ambulance would go over and pick them up and they would bring them over and they would feed them and they would bring them through the hallway and down the hallway and into the church and the immediate family would talk to them. They would rejoice with them when they got there, and then the friends could rejoice.

And we waited and waited. And it must have been three and a half hours. But the loved ones and the family was out on the porch wrapped in blankets, awaiting for their fathers or their brothers to come up and just give them a hug. Because that's what we was told, they was alive. And when we began to see the black vehicles come up through there and the state police and they all come in there, we still thought they was alive. We still was a'looking for them to come through the door.

Stunning...
