Last month was my first opportunity to see Sean play since the GBS days! Take a listen to Sean performing <em>Sea of No Cares<\/em>.  He also shares what enjoys listening to as well in the video below. As Sean explains Chris Trapper &#8220;cowrote&#8221; <em>Sea of No Cares<\/em>.   One artist always leads to another, and I discovered Chris when he sang with GBS one evening in Lowell, Massachusetts. If you have been following 603 Melody you may remember that Mr. Trapper was featured in a previous post (insert shameless plug). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sean McCann 2022\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/idfsmt5dZuU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My first introduction to Great Big Sea was the song Mari Mac.  Maybe the band was playing on PBS; I can&#8217;t remember.

You couldn&#8217;t sit down at a live GBS show either! At one venue I thought the floor was going to give way.
