Hi
America: Eddie
Pokusa and I, Randy Brock, are writing asking you to join us to support the
families of the Sago Mine disaster of Jan. 02, 2006. Here’s how you can
help. Please support our song “Cold Mountain Mourning”. The story
of the creation of the song follows. We need your help. You can
help us make this happen. Support by emailing your friends NOW!
That’s right now, email and write your friends right now telling them about
the song and our website. Another way to help is you can request to hear the
song played on your favorite radio station. Lastly, you can receive a
copy of the song by making a donation to Cold Mountain Sago Relief
Fund. For a $5.00 donation plus $1.98 Shipping & Handling, we will
send you a quality professional copy of the song. I have decided that 100% of
the profits go to these Miners. Thanks
for your support. Only you can make this effort a success. Now
let us tell the story of the creation of the song. Signed: Eddie
Pokusa and Randy Brock. The story Here
is the song that “Cold Mountain Mourning” represents. I, Randy Brock,
like all Americans went to bed the night of Jan 2 thinking that 12 miners had
been rescued that night. I thought it was another miracle rescue
similar to the Quecreek event. You know the one where all the miners
got out. My initial thought was to celebrate the possibility of Americans
being rescued. Most everyone’s attention was on the fact that there was a
rescue of 12 of the miners and the country could feel good about itself. The
next day, like most other Americans, I woke to listen to the news and found
out that everything was turned completely around. That particular
morning, a cold morning, I spent listening to news reports and breaking
interviews of different people on the scene of the event. Eddie
and I live 35 miles northeast of Pittsburgh PA., which is near to the
Quecreek event and we were quit touched by that event and, likewise, moved by
Sago. As I watched TV news reports and, by chance, was practicing a
song I had written for Cousin Eddie to hear and possibly record. We had plans
to meet over the Christmas holiday. Due to the fact that I had a cold
over the Holidays, our meeting never happened. As I watched the TV, I
had my guitar on my knee practicing songs and it occurred to me that someone
should write a song about this ironic turn of events of the Sago Mine
disaster. I took up my pen and for whatever reason, wrote the words and
tune within 1 hour. At
some point it occurred to me that I wanted the song to honor the 13 miners
involved and have dedicated it to them. Once I knew that the song was
special, I felt that I wanted to give it to a fund or charity and raising
money by selling the song. Next I wrote an email to a Radio/TV
celebrity and I asked them to contact some recording artist icon like Loretta
Lynn, Willie Nelson, or Bruce Springfield. Time passed and I got no
response. At this point, I knew I had to do it on my own. On 1-5-2006, I
wrote this email to the CDUI, a Yahoo message board, asking for help: Bro
and sis workers; I'm
posting this message for help in a matter of the heart. As well as a
Millwright I'm an amateur song writer located 35 NE of Pittsburgh
Pa and I'm writing for your help. I wrote a song ("its cold mountain
mourning") for the victims of the Sago Coal mine Disaster
and would like to donate the song to any type of relief effort. I am a total
amateur in the music business, but feel that I will cheat the victims if I
don't attempt to do something. Anyone that can share any advice or help will
be greatly appreciated. Since
I know nothing, I need help in recording, producing, and promoting this song. I
maybe reached thru this forum or at my direct email address coldmountain@e-tique.com.
Please help Thank
you all ahead of time. Randy Millwright
2235 As
result to this email I got a response from Ken Little in Washington State who
told me to get a hold of Mike Stout a recording artist of Homestead, Pa.
Think about that, someone in Washington found me a home town man that was
going to help. Mike led us to Soundscape Recording Studios. Mike and I meet
with Soundscape Studio they introduced us to Fred
Nelson of “Too Tall Jones”
a recording artist and the song was recorded using my cousin Eddie Pokusa as
the lead vocal, and the rest folks is history and now you can receive a copy
of this wonderful song and help the cause succeed. By the way everyone that
hears the sound said they love it and it’s great. Signed Eddie Pokusa
