   They didn't have Led Zeppelin clones 100 years ago.   
      
   I found it by accident, serendipity - "Winnsboro Blues".   
   It was the modern verson, by Rzweski, but I'm 99%   
   sure it's the same song, which was more tradiitonal,   
   with piano and singer.  Both cases evoke the sound of   
   pounding machinery.
