This was the 1st song of Tom's that I heard. Played on the radio & totally blew me away. Bought the album within a day or so & have every one of his before & since.
tom russel is one ove my heros he needs to right a song about a saw mill with danny jacaka hauling logs in and lonnie archer hauling shavings and wood chips out the real story that would be a great song
What rocks and dirt make steel? If it is just rocks, why are we "building" up other countries (Media and Professional Sources ) as having the most steel. Rocks are everywhere on Earth. Is that the reason for why we see so many metals around us today? Or does it take a special type of rock to make special metals.
@heartlessvietboy Iron Ore is what comes out of the ground and is the main ingredient in steel. After meltiing in a balst furnace it is further refined to make steel.
Great song and video! I still live here in Homestead and remember when the mills were going strong. it's just what guy's did after high school; get a job in the Homestead Works, make a good living and build a family of their own. It was hard, but stable work with great pay. Unfortunatley the mill closed right before my generation got out of school, so we didn't have that chance. We did, however all party at Hess's bar and had great times, but is no longer there either.
My Great Grandfather put 50+ years dahn ere at da mill my grandfather worked dahn ere at O.H. 5 at the homestead works nows there a stupid shopping center that sells cheap chinese shit, had the world trade center been built with steel dahn ere in homestead would have never fell

Sauerkraut and kielbasa...I guess there are a big group of immigrants from Eastern Europe in Pennsylvania. Reminds me of the movie Deer Hunter.
