Strawbs - Part Of The Union

This song, though British, seems appropriate for a protest that's partly about workers. And I've belonged to two unions (three, if I count a professional organization that kinda functioned as a union). So...

Solidarity! And celebration!

...the Midnight Special taping we went to.
Wasn't all that familiar with their stuff before that. All I knew was that Wakeman played with them for a couple albums.
Of the bands we saw that night though, The Stawbs were one of the better acts.
