"a pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once. But a song is learned by heart and repeated over and over."

--Joe Hill

[hcovitz]

I've heard about 5 versions now, and this is my favorite, even more than Luke Kelly's. Great job!

[shudderbug]

It's a great song, but I much prefer the Janet Bates version of the song. Janet's husband, Ken, recites Joe's "Last and Final Will" at the beginning of the song, followed by Janet's inspiring rendition of this classic. The song is available on the CD, "The Colours Will Come Back," by Janet Bates and the Instruments of Change.

"A pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once. But a song is learned by heart and repeated over and over." - Joe Hill.

...another great one for my collection.

[losthills]

"If the workers took a notion they could stop all speeding trains; every ship upon the ocean they can tie with mighty chains."

Joe Hill

[Johnfern99]

Great song and performance! I didn't know there was an organizer that was a song writer that came along long before Woody Guthrie. I know Woody had a tough time in his day, I guess it was even harder for Joe Hill.

I like your version better than Joan's cause it sounds more like the way the song was probably written.

"Takes more than guns to kill a man."

(Great line, and true since the music and legend keeps him alive to this day.)

[losthills]

Thanks John. Woody in many respects was conciously following in Joe's footsteps. They both wrote their greatest songs to the tunes of songs that people already knew, especially old folk and gospel songs, which is where they get their power and timelessness...

[coolanddark]

thanks to folks like joe hill and others i enjoy a nice union job now.this is freat archie.thanks for putting this one up.

[coolanddark]

darn it.sorry about my spelling.i meant great.keep these folk songs coming!

[losthills]

I don't know if the majority of Americans realize how bad working conditions were in this country at one time, or how hard people like Joe fought to give us the rights and priveleges we enjoy today...

[coolanddark]

i know what you mean.i learned it through songs like this,and woody guthrie,pete seeger etc.unions are shrinking again unfortunitely

[losthills]

It's true that workers are losing ground today, and one reason is that they lost their faith in the unions.

[daligoddess2006]

Nice tribute to Joe. The hat is an extra special touch. Great job!

[losthills]

Thanks! That hat is the best part of my act...

[daligoddess2006]

Awesome. 5*s!
