Threads and Tangents 5/2/23 - May Day

This week, the musical thread is, May Day. The idea for an annual day celebrating workers in May goes back to the late 1800’s and originated in the US.  So why do we celebrate Labor Day in September? Well, it’s complicated …
Let's just hear some songs about labor, and the lives of working folk.

We'll hear music from: The Clash, Elvis Costello, Della Mae, Ani DiFranco, Dry Branch Fire Squad w/Hazel Dickens, S.G. Goodman, Sarah Lee Guthrie, Woody Guthrie, John McCutcheon, Austin Moffa, Utah Phillips, Gil Scott-Heron, The Strawbs, and Jeff Tweedy.
