I was born in Wheeling back in 1947. I live out in Iowa now, married to a fine Iowa gal that had no clue as what real mountain music sounds like. So I had her listen to the wonderful voice of Ms. Hazel Dickens. I also had her watch the movie MATEWAN with me one evening, she loved it and comented that she see's now why I miss those West Virginia Hills so much.

Thank ya' for your time.

Ginny sang this for us at Augusta Heritage and I just listened to my tape of it today. Thanks for posting this. I'll send the link around to other Augusta students.

This is a beautiful song....Makes me feel like I am there....You can sure tell that she is feeling every bit of what she sings, therefore, no-one else can sing her songs like she does....LUVYA hAZEL, ...Keep it going...

[PICNPUGS]

because hazel feels every word she sings, i can really believe what she is singing about and..i love her and her songs.....i would like to get a clearer video of her, singing it's only a coal miners grave....because of the storm and the winds, your video is so "staticly" i cannot understand what she is saying..she deserves a better look at her than that...she is real...for sure.....just take a look at her performances..she does not need all the "bling"to win us over...

[kwahaddi]

Absolutely wonderful. You gotta love Hazel!
