But first, I'll report on a disappointment. Although the folks at the electronic board had a copy of ONE FINE SOLDIER, the song written to honor John O'Neill and the SwiftVets, I don't know what happened. They didn't play it. Even after the event when we were mingling and waiting for our coats, for some reason they were unable to play it. Uncleshag, the talent who recorded ONE FINE SOLDIER, made a treacherous driving journey up from Richmond to deliver the CD and was disappointed that he did not get to hear his work. Jerry Corsi might have enjoyed it since "unfit for command" is in the lyrics. Several of you had mentioned that you'd like to hear it at the Ball. I don't know what happened. For those who have not heard it yet, download ONE FINE SOLDIER MP3 here- click on the red ONE FINE SOLDIER.
The Swiftees and other sites have asked for permission to post the song, which was given to them. There is also some talk about a CD of this and several songs that have been done becoming a fundraiser for military charities. I hope that happens. I spoke with John O'Neill a few days ago, and he was honored that a song was done for him and the men he led. As the song says, you will never know finer men.
Thank you for the reports, was great reading them. Maybe in 4 years we can all get together.
Uncleshag drove from SC. He overnighted in Richmond on the way. He's one fine gentleman, and those of us listening to "Right Talk" heard it! Thank you for playing it.
