Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Levana Taylor Date: 09 Dec 21 - 10:47 PM SONGS ABOUT THE HUNGARIAN UPRISING OF 1956 The Hungarian uprising against Soviet domination lasted from October 23 to November 10, 1956. Later, János Bródy composed Ha én rózsa volnék (If I was a rose), generally interpreted as referring to the uprising (as well as continuing resistance). See LyricsTranslate for several translations. Its best-known performer is Zsuzsa Koncz; in 1973, she recorded it on an album quickly pulled from shelves (YouTube) and there are various live recordings of her. And here is Márta Sebestyén with a traditional-style unaccompanied rendition. After the suppression of the uprising, on January 6, 1957, Elvis Presley appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and asked for relief donations, dedicating Peace in the Valley to the people of Hungary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paeOBN5e7iM For the 60th anniversary, Desmond Child (of Bon Jovi) wrote Land of the Free, which made its debut in a choral performance on Hungarian radio -- see article with recording. |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Levana Taylor Date: 09 Jan 22 - 11:10 PM October 17, 1867: Thirteen workers constructing the Hoosac Tunnel in Massachusetts suffocate after being trapped at the bottom of the "Central Shaft" by a fire above. See contemporary account and photos HOOSAC TUNNEL by Dana Robinson (Bandcamp) The final lines, calling the Hoosac a "cursed tunnel," allude to the tunnel's terrible reputation that led the workers to dub it the "Bloody Pit." Nearly 200 of the construction crew died there over the 24 years that it took to complete it, the October 1867 incident merely being the most casualties at a single time. As of the 1970s, the tunnel became a highly popular source of ghost stories and ghost sightings. |

To start a revolution had long since been his plan. To get the world a moving for years had been his dream, On two long tracks all made of steel, and an engine powered by steam. So plans were made and tracks were laid for the Rainhill loco trials, And crowds had gathered down the course that stretched out for three miles. It was to be a contest, a test of strength and speed, George Stephenson arrived that day aboard his iron steed. |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 09 Nov 22 - 10:19 AM HOLD THE FORT October 5,1864. The Battle of Allatoona Pass was fought in Bartow County, Georgia during the American Civil War. "Hold the Fort!" was written as a hymn in 1870 by Philip Paul Bliss who was inspired by hearing about an incident in this battle. At the end of the nineteenth century it was re-written by the British Transport Workers as a union song.
