Okay, sources have said we were briefly aired on Howard Stern, (now I know which of my contacts is lurking there....)Sean played the whole song today, and Quinn's Warroom is still blasting away with Steve Malzberg back east and Pete Wilson in the West.

I'm doing an interview on WDEL 1150 AM radio in Delaware at 9:30 Eastern with RICK JENSEN.He and I chatted about the song already and he now has the full version.

At 7:30 Pacific I have another interview with KBTU 101.7 FM in Salinas/Monterey, Ca

Hope some of you can listen in!

The Ballad of Mike Moran
"The Fireman Song"

 Written by Doug Cogan & Christopher Storc

The Fireman Song, also known as The Ballad of Mike Moran
is a song that pays tribute to all of the brave men
who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
As songwriters, we hope that it also offers a sense of empowerment to those who hear it.

"FReeper Cacique heped Vetnet" SHOULD HAVE BEEN "FReeper Cacique helped Vetnet"

[Cacique]

I don't mind heping people every now and then :-).

(Donning flameproof suit now)

I wonder if the title should really be (out of respect) "The Ballad of JOHN Moran"??

Please no flames, just wondering

Thanks.

[Cacique]

I suppose that could be a valid point. However, the words were uttered by Mike. The title is however, in my view irrelevant. What is important is the end result.

[Vetnet]

Okay, truth be told, Freeper Cacique DRAGGED Vetnet, (kicking and screaming in the wee hours of several mornings) to make the site look as professional as it does!

Thank you for these bruises, Cacique!!!

[Vetnet]

We actually did consider that very title, Calvin Sun. The (in)famous phrase, though, was declared by John's surviving brother, Mike, who showed an amazing courage and clarity that empowered an entire nation into adopting a bold new attitude.

We hope the song shows a deep sense of respect for all of the people who sacrificed their lives that fateful day.

Thank you for the chance to open a dialogue.

Yes, now that I am reminded of Mike Moran's words, the title does make sense. Thanks.

[runningbear]

Great links to post.... Thanks a bunch! Loved it all... Sean played the whole song.....And it brings smiles to me every time I hear it. Feel like going to a pub and cheering! In Memory of 9/11!

'Hep' is a perfectly good word. One of our ?distinguished? pols used to say "Ah only want to hep you!" (Forgot who it was, but Rush often reminded us of this ?benevolent? statesman.)

Bumping this today for firemen, other heroes, and those of us with Irish heritage.

NOTE: I am not an Irish-American. I am an American of Irish heritage.
