@hamburgboy,
hbg, thanks for restoring our signal. Loved Ella's Honey in the Rock and Odetta's Motherless Child. Loved Al Jolson and The Andrew Sisters doing The Piano Roll Blues.
More synchronicity because there was a theater in West Virginia called Honey in the Rock and it had to do with coal mining.
Here are a couple of songs that give you an idea about the low level that coal miners live with.
First Loretta.

The United Mine Workers paid miners in scrip which could only be redeemed at the company store.
