Mickey Flynn - When Your Down and Out

An oldie cover written by Johnny Cox around the time of the great depression - an interesting story -
a certain Paul Walburg announced a few days after the Inauguration of President Hoover that - quote - If orgies of unrestrained speculation are permitted to spread too far, The ultimate collapse is certain to bring about a general depression involving the entire country - unquote - he was totally ignored by the greed of the masses on Wall St and ended up a broken man - Another interesting story - Alice Austin was given a camera at the age of 11 when she inherited a fortune, she took many photographs around the streets as a hobby, when the crash came she lost her entire wealth and ended up in a poor house, 2 years after the New York Times paid for some of her photos, over 8,000 in all which enabled her to live comfortably in a home for the rest of her years. She is today remembered as one of Americas earliest and prolific photographers. Enjoy the tune..
