The Phantom Pirate (Captain Isaac Goldsack) - Mash up mix

Uploaded .
11
308

Based on a poem by William Sharp that I found while researching my family history.

The poem has been put to music once already, by one Christopher Goldsack, http://www.sundown.pair.com/Sharp/piratepoem.htm but I wanted to put my own little twist on it.

Horror meets pirate meets disco meets jungle meets me reading poetry - yes, a total mash up!

Samples from Mixcraft used in the making of The Phantom Pirate :)

Enjoy xox

Aye, that Captain is a creeper, a'skulkin' down irie morning. 'N'ah cannah tell from the way he is lookin' at you, never you mind the peacock feather in 'is hand, but, yea cannah be sure that his intentions are matching your ambitions, that, 'e be sure to sell you your hand, after you've had a hook fitted to replace: in fact, the Captain will *serve* you your hand, parboiled with a side of parsnips, under the irie moon, if'n you 'aven't found something to eat, by then. Yaargh.

Dancey you're right! I don't manage to get everything down on tape, but I do some similar things. I've got books full of lyrical ideas. Fab
