It's Labor Day and so we wanted to recognize America's workforc! There's no better way to do that than with this all-star version of a Merle Haggard classic!

I think most of us have had jobs that we'd rather forget. For me, it was a job that only lasted a week. Or, rather, I only lasted a week doing the job selling Downtown Bangor coupon books over the phone. It was in the middle of the summer in my 17th year and the job was on the top floor of a building downtown. No air conditioning, 12 women in a room sitting elbow to elbow, and a stack of phone numbers that went chronologically. Like 989-0000, 989-0001, etc. That means we were calling businesses and unlisted numbers and getting told repeatedly what we could do with...well...you get the picture. Oh yeah, and we had one small fan during temperatures topping the 90's. I quit after my first paycheck.

Here's to everyone who works for a living! Happy Labor Day! We'll celebrate with this Grand Ole Opry video of the song 'Workin' For a Living,' performed by Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Marty Stuart, Steve Wariner, and Ricky Skaggs!
