I am so excited to have purchased tickets to our first Men of the Deeps concert. We were able to get front & center row seats. My husband, Darrold is a disabled coal miner from West Virginia. He worked in the mines for over 20 years. He moved here to Canada in 2000 and that is when I introduced him to your music. As he listened to your songs it was obvious that the lyrics were very personal for him, as only a coal miner can truly understand life underground. See you in Saint John on the 20th of June. God Bless!

Guestbook Entry:

I am watching the documentary about the Men of the Deeps. My grandfather, great grandfather and great great grandfather and his father were all coal miners. My father moved with his family to Ontario when he was 13, the youngest of five. Through genealogical research, I have found many more ancestors on my father’s side that were coal miners as well, into England. I want to thank you for the documentary and the songs. They bring the history alive and make me feel proud to be a descendant of a person that had done this for their lives. I feel proud of my heritage and LOVE the accents. I used to visit Cape Breton as a child often in the summers and I can honestly say that it makes me homesick. I want to be there so badly.

Rich and I really enjoyed your concert at the State Music Hall Theater in Uniontown Pennsylvania on Friday November 8th. 2008. I got your cd called Coal Fire in Winter, Ilike that cd most since it had the Banks of Newfoundland and the song Sweet Guinevere with the lad from Pittsburgh, PA. Since Rich works in the coal mine here in PA., and I am from the island of Newfoundland. It was great talking with Johnie, Bill,Melvin, Micky and the rest of the guys and thanks for autographing my CD. I hope some day you make it back to Uniontown and get all the local coalminers to come and hear the Men of the Deeps sing songs about coal mining. I never knew coal miners could sing so good. I also enjoyed the jokes from the big guy. Thanks for the enjoyment from the Newfoundlander who ended up with the coal miner from around Pittsburgh, PA. How did the show go in Hazelton, PA.?

True confession time — I was my Mom’s escort to your concert today at Casino Rama. Since my musical taste differs from my Mom’s, I did not expect to enjoy myself, but I DID! Fabulous,FABULOUS show! Next time you’re in our area I will be Mom’s escort again, but will be joining her at your show as a huge fan! Thank you very much for doing what you do! Mom enjoyed herself and got a little homesick for the maritimes! Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Just saw you guys at St.Johns church tonite. What a great concert. Thanks to you all and especally to Jim. My son Connor really was amazed at the fact that you worked with his Grandfather. He didn’t meet his grandfather as he died before he was born. The things you said were so nice about Johnny. It made us so happy to hear them. His only Grandson was really impressed. Thanks so much and see you again next summer maybe at the miners museum. God bless all of you, and see you again soon. Johnny (holy cross)Mac Donald.

Oct. 23: Springhill, N.S., marks 50th Anniversary of 1958 mining disaster. For Dad, Doug Henwood who made it out of the mine in ’58. And in memory of Victor Henwood (died in the mine ’56 Explosion), Harlan Henwood (died in the ’58 bump) and James Noiles (survived the ’58 bump, died Oct. 18, ’07)-thank you to the bareface miners & draegermen who brought Jim out and allowed him to be here to raise his two sons. A total of 424 men and boys lost their lives in the Springhill Mines from the beginning of the coal operations until the final closure in 1971. “Down in the dark of the Cumberland Mine there’s blood on the coal and the miners lie”
