I clearly recall when Paradise was taken over by Peabody Coal, many of those folks moved down to our area.

I have seen The Shovel from a distance several times. It's so nasty.

I fortunately got to see John about 10 years ago. Best singer/songwriter concert I ever saw.

Bonus: Todd Snider opened.

The Virginia Boys, Jim&Jesse, cover this with bluegrass of exquisite harmony, pure as a mountain spring!
