My great uncle was a baby who was passed over the people jammed together to.leave and tossed or passed to someone out a window, or that is what my grandfather told me. In pictures they look.like identical twins, but my grandfather was born in 1906, so would have been about 7 years older.

People's Long Memory. Proudly keep it alive and pass it on to new generations.

@FrayedBear Yeah. When I first heard it and recognized it as the story my grandfather told me, I got goosebumps and was stunned there was a song about it.

@gigihein And one hell of a history. I think that there may be other songs of the incident.

@FrayedBear that never occurred to me. My grandfather never said it was union related I don't think he knew that, because he was a union steward and would have added it.
