Technology eulogies

[fivemack]

I've just listened to Woody Guthrie's Grand Coulee Dam three times, because there's nothing in my collection quite like it.

Among my readers are some vastly better-listened than I. Can you suggest similar eulogies to reinforced concrete and thirty-foot turbines? I suppose Leslie Fish's Hope Eyrie is something of the same kind of thing.

He wrote several similar paeans to the joys of massive state-funded engineering projects as part of the same string of songs. "Roll On, Columbia" is the one that springs to mind, but there's two or three others I won't remember until I listen to them.

"The Biggest Thing That Man Has Ever Done" always gets filed in much the same niche, for me, but is more about the people than the structures.
