The Story Behind The Song
Chapter 8

Wang Dang Doodle kinda sorta

Another installment in the ongoing presentation of the musical works by:

Shane O’Brien

Arrangement ©2004 Shane O’Brien
Album/CD  Share the Vision track 12
℗2014 Jungle Music Productions
Based in part from the classic Willy Dixon song Wang Dang Doodle

Shane O’Brien since 1999, has a lot of fun with the songs he chooses to record over the years. O’Brien has written the Music of Shane O’Brien and O’Briens Edge other than the unique to say the least individual arrangements to five pieces written by others, In 2004 with the accompaniment from friend, partner and band mate Jimmy Solo, as they created a new signature sound for a Willy Dixon Classic.
Shane O’Brien dubbed it’s modified title to reflect the changes, thus it became their own “Wang Dang Doodle kinda sorta”.
This is not meant to be anything at all the same as the Dixon classic, and it true, obviously true after listening. It’s licks in rhythms are the real foundation to the background musical jam supporting a vocal story that is genuinely funny, kinda sorta, especially if your in the trades as an iron worker, and again especially if your an Ironworker out of local 433.

This is all explained in this video which was created as another Chapter of the obriensedge.com ongoing web series known as “The Story Behind The Song” by Shane O’Brien Chapter 8, Titled
“Wang Dang Doodle kinda sorta”

Suggested listening to this Artist:
Charles Bradley is pure fun to listen to, with his soul sound vocal delivery and a Funk Brothers style support band. Every track is a dance track reminicent to the styles of James Brown and Ottis Redding.

Video Clip from Shane O’Brien

A Dangerous Way [c]2005 Shane O’Brien video clip created January 2014 in the L A Harbor Community of San Pedro, California. I was treated to a new i Pad from a patron who had attended our New Years Eve show at Harold’s Place in San Pedro. I had never seen one before this gesture was made to me and really had not a clue about how it worked and what to do with it. After a week of messing around on my own with this i Pad, as well as using the Face Time feature for video calling back and forth with my newly found fan/friend, ideas were starting to emerge regarding a few possible uses.
So once I figured how to use the whole “Cloud” thing and loaded about a dozen of the CDs I’ve written and produced, I was really starting to enjoy this gift. Let me say right from the get go, here and now… Corky, thank you so much for this present you gave me. Wow, this is so cool. You had made my day when you graciously set me up with something I know, that you knew, I would use to the fullest. How very,very thoughtful of you. You are a real sweetheart.
I found myself using this thing to take video clips of the sights in town. The kind of places in which I enjoyed hanging out at over the span of 30 years, to simply look at nature’s behavior. This Video contains video captures taken during a rainy period of four days which generated white caps on the Pacific Ocean, trees in Point Fermin Park dancing to nature’s winds. A sunrise taken from the vantage point while sitting at a Pagoda across from Walker’s Cafe looking towards the east at Sunkin’ City. The Look of the ebb and tide of the surf at the shoreline off the bluffs are a major enjoyment to have included. In town shots include the Warner Grand Theater with all the neon marquee lighting flickering as they do at midnight. The first scene is from a hill top part of San Pedro that over looks L A’s Harbor Occupational Center including views of the Vincent Thomas Bridge also the 47  and Harbor 110 Freeways in the Back ground.
   The music is titled “A Dangerous Way”
