Good morning! Time for a live video. As long as my voice holds up while the car charges... I will get to your list of requested songs shortly, but these have been on my heart lately. I will update the list when I finish the set, which is probably when my voice goes out. Haha Final tracklist: Whiskey in the jar, Traditional but in the style of Metallica Torn by Natalie Imbruglia Walking After Mi...
"Me and Bobby McGee" by Janis Joplin

I included my own version of the scat at the end, which I've never done before. 😂🥳 @janisjoplin #janisjoplin #catharsis

"On the Road from Srebenica" by Tom Paxton about true events in Europe in 1995. #humanrights #solidarity #oneworld @Tompaxton2 @ComradeDragon1957 I would like to dedicate this song to a comrade and mama who needs to be lifted up right now: Lauren Myers

An acapella cover I did a couple of years ago of a Bob Dylan song. Apparently I forgot to ever post it, but it sure does seem timely! #LuigiMangioni #Luigi #Anticapitalism

I originally put this together as an audio-only piece for KKFI 90.1 FM for "The Heartland Labor Forum" as an installment of my five year old monthly labor history feature "Remember Our Struggle." I have decided to turn some of these ROS episodes into videos with relevant photographs from the internet. I hope you enjoy!

Love it so much❤❤
this is the best version ever! holy shit!
Its needed now more than ever since the IBEW doesnt see a meeting as a "concerted activity" protected by the NLRA. Freedom of speech is not allowed on the internet when it pertains to video evidence of corruption..
So beautiful ! It brought tears of joy to my eyes. 🙏📿⚔️🦓💙
Love your style. Love your surroundings. Love the nature sound in the background. Love the hat & glasses. Most of all, love the cover.
Happy New Year, Ariana. 2024 is a significant year for us, we await the next General election and can only hope that people do the right thing and vote Labour. We need to remove our corrupt Tory Government and stop austerity, which only really affects the poor and never the rich. I listen to you quite often, as I find your rendition an inspiration, as I try to spread the word. All the best
Happy Thanksgiving sister!
this is wonderful
Awesome!!!!
You may have heard it before, but if not, you might like this, Ariana: The Red Flag - Billy Bragg (Put up by RevLudd)

Love it!
Love it!!
Gives me chills, I love it. The passion, and the soul laid in to this song.
Sounding awesome sister !!!
Love your voice, comrade.
I have another one I don't think you have there (I couldn't watch the whole video): Twinkle twinkle little star, I don't wonder what you are, great big ball of plasma, mainly composed of hydrogen, lightening up the night sky, as an example of nucleur fusion
beautiful, thank you
Caught me by surprise! Thought this was just a speech until it abruptly broke into song. You are amazing.
I was looking for Suzanne Vega's A-cappella version of this song (disappointment). Thankfully You came along and did a nice rendition !
I love the Casey Jones railroad song. In fact Casey Jones in real life was actually never a scab Joe hill wrote this song in 1911 with the Southern Pacific Railroad workers were going on a strike for union purposes and there was a lot of people scabbing against the union so to try and convince people to get in to the union a fictional version of the song was written. Casey Jones was actually an engineer on the Illinois central railroad end in 1900 was killed when he stayed on board his train and tried to stop it during a wreck.
Good job sis. Maybe i can get the file and share it with my 1k subs or you can walk me threw the post thing on yt
Sad I couldn’t be there to see this in person
I used to be hard right Bernie turned me far left this song makes me cry
So Beautiful!
Great job Ariana, Proud of you
Very good cover.
Nice!
I actually prefer this song to Union Maid... UM always seemed kinda... chauvinistic to me, idk... You are an amazing singer tho tbh. :D
This is amazing! Do you think you could do "The Preacher and the Slave," ?
CrackedLogic Politics I've got a lot more videos coming in the next couple of months. ;-)
Ariana Eakle Yay thanks! You gots a sub in me. :p
Sister, could you sing joe hills rebel girl next.
union proud177 I certainly will be soon :-)
I've been on a "Love me, I'm a liberal" binge for the last two days and I wanted to say I really appreciate your rendition of it!
love it!
Mutualist Bread Stores I have posted a few more songs you might like, including this one: ua-cam.com/video/lx4VhznPaRg/v-deo.html Solidarity ;-)
Nice job sister!!!
Looks like Leo "Bunghole Jockey" Crespo lost what little backbone he had and took his commentary down. Anyway, thanks again for the great video, music, and the hours you spent walking the line. You and Kevin should be very proud of your efforts in helping the poor struggling souls of Challenge Manufacturing gain fair pay, benefits, and the right to be treated with dignity and respect.
Wow . An idiot who has nothing to do but troll other peoples videos ❤ I smell personal issues ...
I love this you did so well !! Nailed it 👌🏼
Beautiful voice comrade.
Huzzah!!!
I also recorded it and put it on UA-cam, using the tune that (as far as any of the Wobblies I know know, was written for it by Joe Hill. Since UA-cam doesn't let me put a url in a comment, you can find it by searchin g for it by name. I learned it from a 1980s recording by a Connecticut wobbly, which seems to have disappeared from the internet.
Jim Giddings I looked everywhere trying to find the original tune, and finally this one just popped into my head so I went with it. :-) I will definitely look for your original.
