about

A boy records an interview with his grandmother. It is for a class assignment. We hear the questions, but not the answers: the recorder must have been placed too far away.

lyrics

Boy: May Third.
I’m going to ask my grandma questions of the olden days.
Um, Grandma? In the mines, um, do you know how many people died?
Um, do you know anybody that was in the mines?
Uh, can you tell me three people?
Can you name ‘em?
Yeah...yeah...yeah...
Who else?
Shawn Henton? Oh.
Do you know a couple people that died in the mines?
Can you name ‘em, too?

Uh, ok, uh...uh when you was little, what kind of chores did you have?
Um, did you ever wash on a washboard?
You did?
Did you ever feed the cows and the yard animals?
What about the other animals?
Uh...

Did your dad work in the mines?
How much did he get a day?
A dollar?

Uh, well, I hope you give me an “A” Mr. John Winnenberg.
Thanks for letting me do this.
Bye.
