Dean Friedman - Gone Phishing

[Wayne]

Now, some of you may know who Dean Friedman is and some may not. Or you may know some of his songs but have no idea who the guy is. "Lucky Stars"? "Lydia"? "McDonalds Girl" (which was banned by the BBC)? I happen to be a big fan of his, have seen him a number of times live and have even interviewed him for a podcast I was a part of a number of years ago. The podcasts would all have the song in them at the start. The reason I bring this up is because you may not know that he wrote a song about scams called "Gone Phishing". My younger sister is also a big fan of his, and the person I go to the concerts with. I mentioned the song to her recently and she said she'd never heard of it. Finding a copy of the song these days is nigh on impossible, so last night I hunted through my hard drive to see if I had one. The video is gone, but may be on one of my older drives. If I find it I'll definitely be uploading it here. I did however find one of the old podcasts and ripped the song out of it. I can't attach it directly in the forum, but if you click the link below it'll take you to another page on the site where you can listen to it.

It'd be such a shame if this song disappeared, so this is my small way of keeping it alive. Enjoy, and if you like the song then check out more of his work at https://www.deanfriedman.com/ I need to ask him if he'll play it live at the next concert of his we go to so I can record it too.

Quick update for you. I emailed Dean about the song, and within minutes he uploaded it to his YouTube channel again and sent me the link. You can see it, along with the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaMjXfN ... anFriedman

Huge thanks, and check out his other songs too.
