In Wisconsin, Labor Day became an official state holiday in 1893. Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894. President Grover Cleveland, after breaking the American Railway Union with considerable violence and loss of life, signed a bill making the first Monday in September a national holiday for American workers. It was a blatant attempt to win back public support after using Federal Troops to break the Pullman Strike earlier that summer.

Wisconsin’s most historic and bloody labor incident occurred on May 5, 1886 on the shores of Lake Michigan in the Bay View area of Milwaukee. Some 1,500 workers marched toward the Bay View Rolling Mills (then the area’s biggest manufacturer) urging the workers there to strike, demanding an eight-hour work day. The local militia, called to the scene by Governor Jeremiah Rusk, fired on the crowd, killing seven people and ending the march. The event became known as the Bay View Massacre.

The theme for the first section of this week’s show comes from this video that Classic Country Corner Superfan Jenna in McFarland sent me.

I’ll be honest, there are dozens if not hundreds of songs about men killing their significant others or objects of their desire, there’s even a term for it “murder ballad”. But songs where it is the other way around? not so much. I was able to find a few female murder ballads where the roles are reversed.

After two years of hosting this show,I realized that the middle section is usually “The Bummer Set”😆 This week’s bummers are all about being left at the alter or watching your beloved marry someone else.

As per station direction, we cannot legally end the show on a maudlin note. The last set of songs is all about blissful weddings and true love.
