Brian emailed us this:
One week after 9/11/01, upstate New York. Worrying, whinging and existential musing with my friends. Karen says, "At least I'm not dust in New York City." I wrote this while walking to work. It's changed many times since then. Recording details same as in previous song.

Carl sends us:

This is an interesting post:
Written by the incomparable Alistair MacGillivray (who rocks my socks), this song was written after an accident at the No. 26 Colliery in Glace Bay, NS in 1979. It’s a shame this song is not more well-known; I got it out of a songbook, but have never, ever heard it […]
