COAL MINING MAN by Gary Fields (2nd slide-show).wmv

This song, "Coal Mining Man", is written and performed by Pike county Kentucky retired coal miner, Gary Fields. This song's first public performance was in Washington, D.C. on September 15, 2010. On this day, coal miners, coal industry workers, and many elected officials from coal producing states traveled to D.C. for a rally in front of the Nation's Capitol, in support of coal as the chosen resource for powering our country. Jobs for the American coal miner are in jeopardy and those in attendance made their voices heard loud and clear to the elected officials present at the rally, and to those who chose to stay within the Capitol building nearby.
This slide-show presentation accompanies the song and shows the energy and commitment of the coal miner, and the message, "Coal Keeps The Lights On".

This is a great song and tells a great story !! I think it gives the average listener a much deeper appreciation for the job coal miners do to make sure America keeps the lights on. Thank you Gary Fields and all the other miners across this land.
