Ladies and gentlemen, the website is up and can now take orders. THE BALLAD OF MIKE MORAN is an inspirational song honoring Mike, his heroic brother John who gave his life doing his duty, and all the others who gave their lives in the cowardly terrorist attack on our nation. And, it is an in your face expression to Osama bin Laden, whose head we will have on a plate, as he is told ---- "kiss my royal Irish ass!" A segment of the song in MP3 will be on the website as soon as possible.
***** ORDER THE SONG FROM THE WEBSITE ***** www.firemansong.com
All net proceeds of U.S. CD sales are going to go to a fund established to help NY firefighters and rescue workers. We have asked Mike to give us direction in that effort.
Mike had seen the lyrics and told me he loved them. Vetnet sent him a dozen copies a few days ago to share with his buddies at the station.
FReepers everywhere have volunteered to get copies into the hands of radio personalities. Thanks for all the help. Now, let's roll!

Can you PLEASE re-post this as "Breaking News" - NOW???
1 - It **IS** "Breaking" as the website only went online HOURS AGO, the audio sample only became available MINUTES AGO, and NO ONE ELSE has reported it,
2 - This is almost an ALL FReeper production, and will mean good PR for this forum, and3 - We need to spin the Drudge re-re-re-count story as:
Bush to NYT/ABC re-re-count: "Kiss my royal AMERICAN Ass!!!"

The sound has a lisping quality to it. It sounds like Barney Frank is one of the singers.
To: RonDog
I posted it in BREAKING NEWS when I first put this up. The moderator moved it to FRONT PAGE.
To: doug from upland
I know! It sounds like Mr. Sean Connery is singing with us! It's because we had to reduce the size of the wav file to get it to load quicker. The downside is that the quality of the sample drops down, too.
We'll have an alternative soon, but everyone should know if you like the sample, the actual CD is 10 times better!
And we don't have to pay Connery a nickel in royalties! LOL

I like it being imbedded so that it can be heard right away. It would be helpful if the lisp was could be adjusted. I just noticed that the lyrics should be centered.
To: doug from upland
I went to hear the sample...and I can't hear anything!
Speakers are turned up!
Oh, what the hell...just send me my copy, wouldja? LOL!!!

Thanks for the support everyone! The responses from most reveal that the sample can be heard, though being a sample, it's less than CD quality (the trade-off)
There were two people who couldn't auto-play it, and their responses are really helping us to narrow down the problem.
You guys and gals are great!
