Lost Music Saloon presents:
It’s a Labor Day edition of the Lost Music Saloon today. Songs about working. Songs about not working. Songs about bosses. Songs about unions. Songs about strikes. Songs about truck drivers, truck stop girls, waitresses, coal miners, and farmers. Songs about working in factories, working at a car wash, and about backwoods entrepreneurs making moonshine, bootleg whiskey, and well…..growin’ their own. Even a song about yuppies! Stay tuned.
