Oh my god, that makes me cry, and I surely do miss childhood home in Butte, America.

[@davidmontgomery7528]

i am confused about BUTTE, AMERICA ....referring to BUTTE, MONTANA ?

[@robmderrick]

@@davidmontgomery7528 Maybe this will help. “Butte, America: What’s in a Name. Sure, it’s located in the state of Montana, but its civic identity is best described as Butte, America. And we mean that in the most literal sense: the moniker shows up on license plates, in advertising and even PBS documentaries. While the rest of the state brands itself with the usual themes of national parks, Hollywood movies and the Big Sky Country, there sits the contrarian stalwart known as Butte, America." Quote carved into the facing outside of the Butte Archives Building with a similar sentiment: ""Now don't forget, Lizzie, when you get to the new world, don't stop in America.You go straight to Butte, Montana." I may cry again now, I miss her so much. Tap 'er light... images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/517wHMBz3AL._AC_.jpg

I had a great uncle that left Ballure, ct. Mayo for Butte montana, to work the mines. HIs name was Johnny Cannon, there is a good chance he knew Michael Conway, who also came from Mayo. Thanks for keeping their memories alive.

Perfect singing there Mick! The old hoist room has decent acoustics. Whoda thunk it.

[@will186312]

Recorded in the Gallows Frame that shadowed my childhood home 428 N Alabama in Butte, Montana....Shamrock City....The Richest Hill on Earth. Thank you for putting to beautiful music and lyric a story of our beloved hometown albeit a sad one of your beloved ancestor, Michael Conway. So glad you came to see his place of rest.
