“MISSISSIPPI MOONSHINE” Speaks to the World

GEORGIA, USA – Performing Songwriter Ricky Fitzpatrick recently discovered that his signature song “Mississippi Moonshine” was not just a long-time fan favorite in the Southern US.

Fitzpatrick’s site traffic reports recently started showing a dramatic increase in web activity in areas like the UK and Ireland. “That was fine with me”, he said. “I have a fairly large following overseas anyway. But the newest statistics were showing a bigger jump in particular areas than normal. And the hits on ‘Mississippi Moonshine’ were going nuts.”

Not long after noticing the change, he began to get emails and comments from fan after fan from other countries. “As it turns out, probably some middle-aged, Irish lady told her online friends about the song, and they told theirs and they told theirs so on. And that’s how word gets around. It’s networking at its finest, and exactly what songwriters love to see happen.”

Music lovers from not only other countries all over the world, but also other states here in the U.S. have been singing the praises of the simple, catchy lyrics of the song. Listeners have called it “beautiful”, “magical” and that it “makes me want to move to Mississippi”.

Members of Fitzpatrick’s fan club “The Moonshiners” are now seeking support for the song to be recognized in some way by the state of Mississippi for its success in bringing global attention to the state.
