Before my current job I worked for one of Peabody's competitors as a staff attorney. Didn't know a thing about coal mining law and lucky for me I got this job before I got pigeon-holed as a coal lawyer.

As part of my indoctrination I had to take a tour of an underground mine. Never was I so happy that I had a college education.

Daddy, won't you take me back to Muehlenberg county,
Down by the green river, where paradise lay.
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in askin'
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.

Gaugs -- It's "Paradise", with my favorite refrain:

"So, Daddy, won't you take me back to Muehlenburg County,
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay";
"Well I'm sorry, my son, but yer too late in askin',
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away".

John Prine is probably my favorite writer. He's so damn good that Emmylou Harris made a name for herself doing his stuff, and Bonnie Raitt got a Grammy for same. "Angel from Montgomery" is one of my favorites, along with "Illegal Smile" and "Hello In There".

I keep the Prine CDs in a cassette with my Leo Kottke CDs - now there's a juxtaposition for ya.
