about

A woman and man are interviewing Lucy. She describes playing piano in a local band, performing on the radio, flirting with boys, and remembers the Millfield Mine disaster.

lyrics

Lucy: ...played for church every Sunday.
Woman: Where did you learn?
Lucy: What?
Woman: Where’d you learn to play?
Lucy: Right here at home. Just in the... We had a piano at home. I used to play. We used to play with a bunch and we would go to, uh, Zanesville every Sunday and play over the radio.
Woman: Really?

Lucy: Uh-huh, and we played for dances and different things. When the mines were working at Millfield and all, they had safety meetings and everything... Well, it started out––how I got in to all that––I, I was the only one around here who could play the piano, I guess––But anyway, they had the safety meetings at their uh, oh for the mine, you know, so they would not get killed and everything. And we’d always, uh, have music and everything. And I got down there and got with a bunch of guys that played instruments, and uh, mmm, hmm.
Man: Hmm. That’s interesting. And these mines have been closed, right?
Lucy: Yeah.
Man: Yeah.

Lucy: I can remember when they had that explosion, down... Now, I lived in this house when they had that explosion, I remember that, cause I was papering, or doing something. And, um, it killed a lot of people, you know. Millfield Mine.
Man: Really, no kidding.

Lucy: And, uh. And we’d stand on the corner, at, see there was no places for the groups to get, or anything. We’d stand on the corner and flirt with the boys, and––ha ha! And we lived right there on the corner right where the highway was, you know.

Man: Oh, right.
Lucy: And lots of times I’d be playin’ the piano I’d have a whole crowd out listenin’...

Man: All right!
Woman: Yay! [clapping]
Man: That’s excellent.

Lucy: That’s the kind of songs that I like.
Man: I like those, too.
Lucy: Well, maybe we’ll even get on the radio someday.
Man: Yeah, who knows?
Lucy: Or the television!
