This is a Good Samaritan story that revolves around the New York September 11 tragedy. It’s a true and amazing reminder of the power of love and forgiveness – or of fate at the least.

My Grandmother, 80, is such a charming lady. She’s from Dublin, as is my Grandfather, and both going strong. They moved to Australia in the late ’60s but they both still have their wonderful Irish brogue and their cheeky sense of humour.

Being of an Irish Catholic family, and the era being as it were, my Grandfather was blessed with 12 brothers and sisters. And Ireland being what it was then, most of them left for foreign shores. Some of them made it to New York and apparently there is still a brood of my maternal bloodline going strong there.

Now it was one of this brood, one of my Grandfather’s sisters, that had a husband once, with whom she had children, but at some point they separated or divorced. For what reason I am not sure, but apparently he did the wrong thing by her and the family, and was out on his ear.

Hey – Seamus here – Just wrote a post about this over on my other blog called:

Are You Suffering From “Trapped Musician Syndrome”?

Yes it focuses on musicians but it applies to all of us to some extent I am sure…

Hi, Seamus Anthony here …

Just a quick note to let you know that you can listen to and then download my CD “Dogs May Bark” for FREE very easily, in hi or lo fi (i.e. lossless wav etc. or good old mp3) via this URL:

Explore the site, there are some cool features, like the “share” feature – and I would very much appreciate it if you would use that feature to tell your Facebook mates, twitter, etc to come and grab my tunes free.

Here’s a taste for you right here, right now:

Over the coming weeks (months?) I will be adding ALL (ok – most) of the tunes I have ever recorded which is like, ten billion songs.

And then after that I have some new stuff to record and release.

Meanwhile – go! Download my music free!

They have made it easy for me now (the awesome geeks at Bandcamp.com) so look out!
