Walking a Fine Line by Shane O’Brien_Preview New Song for 2016 CD Release this fall

Walking A Fine Line

Get ready, for a new CD from The Genuine One this Fall 2016

Walking a Fine Line by Shane O’Brien
A single track from the new CD being produced
tentatively titled “Crestline” which is targeted for
Publishing the Winter 2016. Sometime Before Christmas.

No doubt this down and dirty selection, keeps Shane closer to his  Blues influences .
A Solo Acoustic Guitar_Vocal piece in which he tells it just like it is, through his singing tone and his delivery without any ambiguity.

“Walking a fine line, and you know it’s true, ’cause every word I say to you, is true baby… you’re walking a fine line”…

A second preview we share “When It Rains” [c]2000 by Shane O’Brien is the music behind the Slide Show type photo presentation of an Iron Structure being erected in the Port of Los Angeles, Berth 142, for TraPac. It is the Crane Maintenance Building at the TraPac Container Terminal. A good way of featuring both the musical and craftsmen sides of Shane O’Brien

Topping Out Piece 2016 Wilshire Grand Building

Ironworkers Local 433 topping out the Wilshire Grand Building in downtown Los Angeles. Attached to this Spire is a Christmas Tree and an American Flag. These are symbols of congratulations to all who took part in the erection of this project and to future jobs, may they be done with safety and prosperity in mind.
I love the days when I am part of these celebrations. It’s truly a great feeling of accomplishment and camaraderie that tends to stay with me for a long period after. Sometimes the memories afterwards stays with me for years.
Congratulations to all my Brother and Sister Ironworkers in being members who have now built the highest building this side (west) of the Mississippi. Right here in L. A.
