"docudrama" you tell your friends about.

McKnight, Ian Smith, Keith and Joan Pitzer, Donnie Purnell,
and many others.
This is dedicated to the brave miners lost in the Sago
Disaster. Reviews:
Audiofile;
2007:
"Coal may have
been king, but miners were hardly treated like royalty. From its opening
montage of headlines on the struggle to unionize the coal fields of West
Virginia through its final song, this audio production always grabs
listeners' attention. Ross Ballard II delivers his deep passion for the
miners' battles with a slight twang as he reads the narrative. The author's
father led the "miners' army," and the book is drawn from their stories.
Listeners who enjoy the protest songs that punctuate each disc will be
pleased to find a bonus music disc at the end, featuring 16 songs. J.A.S. ©
