Roomin' House Blues

Here is another song added to my blog in memory of the Big Branch Mine victims.  This is sung by the Dubliners, Celtic folk singers, but they sang a lot of great American songs as well. The Springhill Mine Disaster is one of the more famous mine cave ins. 

This is another song on behalf of the Big Branch Mine disaster victims, this time for the women and children who waited for their men.  Jean Ritchie wrote and sung this, an Appalachian native singer who has both traditonal folk singer education and an extensive musicology education. 

This is in anniversary of the disaster at the Big Branch Mine.  In honor of those who died in that non union pit I am posting to my blog Miners Lifeguard as sung by the Almanac Singers, a 1940's folk music group that included Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and other great singers. Union Miners Stand together.
