The Legacy of the Wobblies

This musical and dramatic performance piece was written in the 1990s and performed on Labor Day at the First Unitarian Church in Portland with General Strike, a labor song group. It was a great experience.

Check it out.

Years later I got one of those unexpected perks that is never forgotten. I ran into one of the labor singers and she told me she still got goosebumps thinking of my rendition of Miner's Lifeguard. I cherish this because I've gotten so few compliments on my folksinging over the years ha ha.

Organized labor is making a small comeback. It needs a major one.
