A Song That Carries History Forward.
At the heart of Bear Creek, Montana, the story of the Smith Mine Disaster still echoes.
Linda McKenzie brings that story to life with her original song “Goodbye Wives and Daughters”—a powerful tribute to the 74 miners who never made it home.
Filmed and produced in Red Lodge, this piece isn’t just music—it’s remembrance. It’s emotion. It’s a connection to a moment that shaped a community forever.
Gone West Productions is honored to capture and preserve stories like this—where history, music, and meaning come together.
Because some stories deserve more than to be told…
They deserve to be felt. 🎥
