Lonnie Donegan - John Henry
Loading...
Uploaded by DADRENO on Jun 23, 2007
"John Henry was a steel-driver, an' he died with his hammer in his hand..." - a powerful one from Lonnie, taken from a '78' from the mid-fifties.
The video material was randomly selected by the PC programme from stuff taken at Cleethorpes when they slewed the old track to meet the new, from the new station. I also filmed the last train on the old track and the first on the new but by that time it was pitch dark!
