Anytime, anytime.

[doug from upland]

I should have a CD in my hands tomorrow. I'm meeting vetnet for the first time.

[RikaStrom]

DFU, let us know! Once you have everything the way you want it, drop me a frail, I'll post it in the class. Or you can post it :-)

You know those guys will go for it.

[doug from upland]

I'm hoping that people will call in to radio stations and request it.

[Jimbaugh]

I will get a CD to Roger Hedgecock in San Diego KOGO-600. I am pretty sure that he will play it. Just Freepmail me for contact info.

I can't get the RealPlayer link to work - get an error message that I'm not online - sigh. Just listened to some of Rush's stuff via RealPlayer without a prob.

Earlier tonight, I was rewinding a VCR tape and there was Tom Brokaw, replaying a clip of Mike Moran's famous message. Then this thread tonight. Wish I could hear the song.

KVI 570 AM in Seattle will almost certainly play the CD. Here's their web info. Contact 5 - 9 AM talk show host Kirby Wilbur.

WOW! I've been in the studio for the last few days and I see you guys & gals have been busy!!! I love this community spirit! After lurking for the past two years, I see now that I should have gotten involved earlier.

I think everyone is going to be very pleased with the final cut of this song and very shortly you'll see that it syncs up fine with the lyrics. Our seven vocalists included two former firemen, a sheriff's deputy, disaster recovery specialist, and some other very patriotic and supportive individuals that all volunteered for the project.

Our Navy corpsman "Doc" prescribed each of us a shot of "Bushmills Irish Whiskey" after we wrapped and we toasted the Moran brothers & their families.

All of these posts and everyone's support have really warmed my heart and I believe that we are truly witnessing something amazing with this crusade. It is my sincere hope that this song offers empowerment to Americans everywhere.

Please keep those addresses coming and we'll mail a CD to every radio station or broadcast contact that any Freeper requests.

Gretchen, there is a Yahoo Player that can be downloaded for free. Try that and see if it works.

[doug from upland]

All the FReepers owe you a debt of gratitude for the amazing work you've done and time you've spent on this project. It took someone like you to make it happen. New FReeper royal IA is going to be pleased. I think we really are going to be able to raise some money and help the families.

I sent you an e-mail about the FReeper who can get this into the hands of the right person at a major record chain.

DOUG:

Where can we download this song for St. Patrick's Day?

MP3? Windows MP? Real?

[doug from upland]

Chris, what happened to the website --- www.firemansong.com

ppaul -- that is the place to order it, but it seems the site is not there. Send freepmail to vetnet.
