Chris Vallillo on his CD "The Best of All Possible Worlds" wrote "The Cholera Cemetery", a song even Chris admits is depressing and dark. It is based on true newspaper reports of a cholera outbreak in Liverpool, Illinois (on the Illinois River near where Art lives) in July 1849. It has an impressive body count of 13. I think it is a brilliant song and try to persuade him to play it every time I see him play. Most times, he declines, as it is too depressing even for him!
