Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day from the Swing Shift Shuffle and the WEVL Music Factory Crew!  To commemorate the day, from the American Memory Collection of the Library of Congress, here is a photo of two real "Rosie the Riveters," working on a B-24 Libertator bomber at the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation plant in Fort Worth, Texas, circa 1942.
