In the early 1980s, I spent a couple of years living in Kentucky. On the local public radio station, one of the station-produced programs played a song, sung by a woman and from the woman's point of view, talking about the dangers of mining and of black lung. I can't remember anything about it to hunt it down, but it was simply beautiful and heartbreaking. This note is to simply acknowledge that song's existence. :) [Black Lung?]
