Sounds good! I'm not a big Union fan, but I'll still throw in. Perhaps the band can play my favorite unionizing song:<br><br>
A miner's life is like a sailor's<br>
But for a ship to cross the waves<br>
Every day his life in danger<br>
Still he ventures being brave<br>
Watch the rocks they're falling daily<br>
Careless miners always fail<br>
Keep your hand upon your wages<br>
And your eye upon the scale.<br>
<i>Chorus:<br>
Union miners stand together<br>
Do not heed the owner's tale<br>
Keep your hand upon your wages<br>
And your eye upon the scale.<br><br></i>
2. You've been docked and docked again boys<br>
You've been loading two to one<br>
What have you to show for working?<br>
Since your mining has begun<br>
Worn out boots and worn out miners<br>
Lungs of stone and children pale<br>
Keep your hand upon your wages<br>
And your eye upon the scale.<br>
<i>Chorus:</i>
<p>
3. In conclusion bear in memory<br>
Keep the password in your mind<br>
God provides for every worker<br>
When in union they combine<br>
Stand like men and lean together<br>
Victory for you will prevail<br>
Keep your hand upon your wages<br>
And your eye upon the scale.<br>
<i>Chorus:</i></p><p><i><br></i></p><p>-Austin<i><br></i>

By all means, Austin, you may come to the picnic. I don't own East City<br>Park. What I do own is a lot of Hebrew National hotdogs, and you are<br>welcome to eat as many of those as you like. I will of course be<br>watching to see if you toss a buck in the jar for our Union brothers and
<br>sisters, and I'll diss you big time if you don't, but other than that,<br>you'll get no grief from me. I will encourage you to eat up, to join in<br>the fun, and to pay kind attention to your neighbors. A Unity picnic
<br>should be about unity -- and, in the case of this one, also about Unions.<br><br>If Steve McGeehee is out there, would you ask Fiddling Big Al if he'll<br>play for us? I love that Fiddling Big Al!<br><br>Joan<br><br>
