Roomin' House Blues

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. 

Foreclosure songs may be the new folk music.  Foreclosures and unemployment are the topical song subjects and utube the new folk song medium.  Elsewhere on my blog I have posts about groups  fighting foreclosures, about unemployment and poverty.  But lets take a song break now.
