08 Jan 97 - 01:36 AM (#1195) Subject: RE: Reference to Buckeye and White Sycamore From: Bill Howdy, I've sung the song for many years thinking that Buckeye and White Sycamore were simply trees along the road as the miner drove by. The names of mines makes sense, but it won't change what I think of as I sing that powerful song. Allinkausay, Bill |
