On this day in 1915 Labor organizer and song writer Joe Hill was executed by a firing squad in Utah.
Appropriately - since he was born in Sweden, here's his ballad written and performed by the Swedish Downhill Bluegrass Band.
The Downhill Bluegrass Band: Jonas Kjellgren - Mandolin, Kenneth Kjellgren - Banjo, Christoffer Olsson - Guitar, Kajsa Kjellgren Westin - Bass, Nickie Wilden - Dobro and
Jimmy Sunnebrandt - fiddle.
Don't ask me how to pronounce 'em ...........
