This song was written by Bruce 'Utah' Phillips about a mining area in Utah where it was so dangerous that all the miners took a tin of morphine with them underground. There were never any rescue attempts so if they were trapped they were able to die peacefully. The subject is even more poignant in view of the Chilean miners' experience last year, they must have suffered terribly but at least they did get out.
That was lovely Amy. Sung with sensitivity and played beautifully. Looking forward to more. x
