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...

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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @anamorph333
      @anamorph333 8 років тому

      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.
