I was thinking of this song the other day. Written quite a few years ago watching people go through hard times, it’s the kind of song you could hope would go out of style because the circumstances that caused the song to be written have disappeared. Then news came today that another fifteen-hundred people lost their jobs from that same town. And apparently you just have to deal with it.
the song–>Poor Man’s Wine–from the CD ‘letters from home’, 1997 (NHC 401)
Maybe one day there’ll be no reason to sing a song like this. Until then…
