Weekend Music Tribute

We recently saw "Echo in the Canyon," (a look at the musical scene centered around the Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles in the mid= '60s) and were going to feature a few of its songs today. Given the events of the week along the border, we scrapped some of the songs in favor of one that's briefly covered in the movie, one that we've featured here in the past.  It's lyrics are by Welsh poet Idiris Davies and it's music is by Pete Seeger. "The Bells of Rhymney" is about a Welsh mine disaster, ticking off the names of towns whose bells are ringing for the victims.

In our inadequate way, we'd like to offer this song, in all its ethereal beauty, in tribute to the memories of Oscar Ramirez and his daughter Valeria, as well as to all the other victims of the Trump regime's cruel immigration policy.
