Update regarding Shane O’Brien and his Musical Life
I accepted the responsibilities that come with the position I agreed to take on with the gang erecting the new Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project Dec 2nd 2016. In doing so I felt it was a must to put my musical life on the back burner, so that’s what I did. I’m glad I did too, because this a good group of men, regarding Local 433 Ironworkers. And the structure is an outstanding project no doubt.
So, can you imagine the constant surprises I get, everytime I get notifications from industry types or emails from Digital retailers containing royalties deposited into a bank for me, or messages from our much appreciated listening audience with words of encouragement or song play requests, and many other positive actions coming my way.
This link should take you to a fine example of some of these elements, which I had received today.
Thank You All
I have about another nine to ten months of project dedication ahead of me, before I plan gigs and produce more music.
Be Safe Everyone
