Anecdote on Joe Hill lyrics

"You, uh, you also met Joe Hill in, in, uh [?] didn't you?"

"That is right, yeah."

"And when was that?"

"Well that was in that same year, 1911. And, uh, we were inhabiting a shack over there. On the beach, we were working as longshoremen. And, uh, very nice, very nice going."
