Why Do We Celebrate Labor Day?

Labor Day is a national tribute to the hardworking individuals who strive towards prosperity and strength for the United States.

Always the first Monday of every September, Labor Day is dedicated to workers in the United States for their participation in the American workforce.

Legislation for Labor Day

The first state to introduce the legislature was New York, however, the first to make it law was Oregon in 1887. During that same year Colorado, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts brought the holiday into law. By 1894, 23 more states including Nebraska, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania followed suit. Congress passed legislature making the first Monday in September a Federal holiday.

Labor Days Claim to Fame or So They Say

Over a century after the very first Labor Day demonstration and picnic, there is still some confusion as to who really proposed the holiday.

Some records tout Peter. J. McGuire. Mr. McGuire was a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor and the general secretary for the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. According to history, it was he who suggested that there be a day to honor those, “Who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.”

However, Peter McGuire’s claim was challenged with many believing that a machinist by the name of Matthew Maguire not Peter McGuire is responsible for the Labor Day holiday with research supporting the claim. With that being said, it is clear that it was the Central Labor Union that adopted the Labor Day proposal appointing a Labor Day committee to plan a picnic and demonstration.

The First Celebration

The first celebration of Labor Day was on a Tuesday, September 5 in 1883 in New York City in accordance with the Central Labor Unions plans.

In 1884, the first Monday was selected as was originally proposed. The Central Labor Union asked similar organizations to help celebrate a, “Workingmen’s Holiday,” on that day, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Happy Labor Day from Dean Von Music and don’t forget to check out our new merch…it’s all about the people…

Dean Von is Busier than Ever

Dean Von Music is doing so many things at the moment that it is hard to keep up, even for me! Not one to stay out of the recording studio for long rumor has it that Dean is working on a couple of new tunes that are sure to get people listening.

The popular singer, songwriter and podcast show host has also released a new album, started a new Patreon Page and is offering vocal coaching to people who have always wanted to sing just a little bit better.

Dean Von Music Vocal Coaching

Speaking from experience Dean Von Music has helped my voice tremendously. I started training when I was 9 years old.

I’m now in my 60’s and with the changes that have occurred in my voice didn’t quite know how to handle the transition. With that being said my vibrato and volume was always too much for me to control. However because I was being classically trained my teachers encouraged it as they had always hoped I would be an opera singer.

It wasn’t until Dean started coaching me that I realized I didn’t have to push myself. Fast forward to today and I’m happy to say that both Dean and I are thrilled with the results. My voice is now more commercial and contemporary which was the goal all along.

Podcast Show

The Dean Von Music Podcast show is chatting with sponsors who are interested in getting involved with the show. This is a very exciting process as it is important to get the right energy for the show that is popular in more than 50 countries.

Make sure that you get onboard and catch up if you haven’t been listening or watching. I for one love to binge listen and watch the Dean Von Music Podcast Show.
