Hey,

I misread this before. Thought it said "trial"----not "trail". Was sure you wanted music of Joe Hill. Sorry

1915--Utah--Joe Hill-(actually Hilstrom--from Sweden)---Wrote I.W.W. songs---Many workingmen's and union hard-hitting songs against Capitalist interests. Went to trial for robbing a grocer and killing him.---Charges trumped up by copper mining interests to get rid of one they feared.----Shot by firing squad--1915

Don't ever let anyone tell you that our music has no power.

Put "Joe Hill" or "I.W.W. songs" into a search engine and you'll get many a-hit.
