For Memorial Day, I wanted to create this as a Tribute to our people in the Armed Forces.
This recording is part of an album created for the American Legion to provide a charity to help Veterans and their Families.
It is soon to be released.

I dedicate this in memory of my Father In Law - Marine Cpl James R. Ryan - Pacific Theater WW2

American Man
Written by Michael Sirois and Bill Madison

Started waiting for a change to come
A long time ago
I really did believe I’d overcome
But, there was so much I didn’t know

Just like my daddy in World War Two
I must challenge the new Japan
Trade sanctions replace atomic bombs
Now it’s microchips, and internet plans

It’s not as simple as it was, to be an American Man
But, then again, here I am, just an American Man

Just like my brother in the Korean War
Like my cousin in Vietnam
It’s not that easy
To be an American Man

Like my friend who left his soul in Iraq
His brother gave his all in the Gulf War
They were proud and made their stand
Each an every one, an American Man

Cho: I’m proud to be an American Man
Proud as hell to be what I am
I’m proud to be an American Man
Cause that’s exactly what I am

My musical career spans more than 40 years; from the folk music venues of Boston, New York City and Montreal during the 1960’s, to the ski resorts and honky tonks of Northern New England from the 1970’s to the 1990’s.

In 1973, I released my first album called Sunday Mornin” Hayride. That album has been re-released by Riverman Records and Yoga Records and was voted in the top ten retro re-issues for 2009 by the Acid Archives.

In 1974, I formed Them Fargo Brothers which became New England’s Premier Country Rock Band and I toured with the band until 1990.

I am currently writing and recording in my studio and marketing my CD’s through my web site and have downloads available across the web. I am also a featured artist on IMRadio.com
