The Story Behind The Song

The Story Behind The Song is a new feature of the obriensedge.com web site. So far there are 3 installments of unique stories regarding songs: “It’s Safe To Be You”, Chapter 2 _ “That’s The Way” and Chapter 3 _ “The Bluesman“. Chapters are loaded with photos highlighting each story, how the song came about and developed to be what is today on albums by Shane O’Brien and O’Briens Edge. Some Chapters you may find two recorded versions in the Chapters display of that particular song. 1 version of the song as it was originally being written/recorded and the 2nd rendition may be Shane playing it for that Chapter featured highlight. There may be many folks who read and see this new feature and say to themselves “Hey I took that picture” or “I recorded that track with him” or “I was at that gig“. To those particular friends I say “Don't fret, I don't forget"

Why this name?

Suggestion by Don Haney, leader of the Don Haney Band, for me to use my real surname in the bands name. Legalities et all.

Do you play live?

Oh so cool is this info. Shane is schedule to appear as Guest on The Watt From Pedro Show aka TWFPS on line search key word.
Mike Watt has been Hosting and Producing this show for years. I've listen to many of his shows and enjoy them every time. I always appreciate the back and forth down home discussions Brother Watt has with all his Guests. The 3 13 2012 is something special indeed for me as I am Mike Watts Guest for that Show. Wow indeed. We will talk music, spin both of our favorite records and it's not hard to tell, especially if you ever been around me and or know me who my favorite is... Also note that since this will be taped at my studio, The Jungle, there is more than likely a great chance for some live music to occurs as well. The air time will be posted most likely sometime before the end of the week folks, so stay tuned for something I feel is awesomely cool... That's why I share these things with you all...
