THE BALLAD OF MIKE MORAN

[DNME]

Not sure if this helps anyone, but I downloaded this song years ago. It was (maybe still is) called The Fireman Song and was done by The Chamber-Made Brigade, at least on my mp3 version of the tune.

Keep up the good work, Doug.

Doug,
I think it is worth mentioning that Battalion Chief John Moran of the New York City Fire Department was a Freeper who was among the lost heros on 9-11. His handle here was BCM.

RIP Chief Moran.

About two years after I did the song, I met Mike Moran with a group of FReepers in a NY pub. We sang the song and drank beer.

Thanks PapaBear

That had to be a bitter-sweet evening.

I remember this like it was yesterday.

What ever happened to Mike Moran? He became a FReeper around the time this video came out, posted a few times, then disappeared.

God bless Mike's brother Battalion Chief John Moran (FReeper BCM) and all those killed, injured or affected by the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01...

Have not spoken to Mike in years.

I too remember this as if it was yesterday. One of your finest in a long list of many. I’m so glad you got to share it with his brother.
