Soldier Boy--

In the thoughtfully low-tech ambience of a mid-January snowstorm, we are thinking of pulling together an anniversary program of our own. We're in Maine, where there used to be plenty of textile mills and shoe factories... We're thinking of interspersing songs like "Work of the Weavers" and "Peg and Awl" with dramatic readings of mill-workers' history, Luddite writings and other historic accounts.

Anyone else have ideas for American or British songs related to the Luddites and the tension between proud handwork and industrial technology?
