Well here's my contribution to the Pirate challenge from Robert Palomo. I think you'll agree it was time to call it a night on this one, but it was a lot of fun writing and recording it! Hope it gives you a chuckle or two.
Why Do Parrots…
Arrrrrr . ....... I started me morning out right for a change! A great listen and a darn good chuckle.
That damn parot in the background was good entertainment and the perfect balance to you lilting song.

"Smells like cabbage" - too funny!! This is great pirate song! The uke evokes a tropical island that has been visited by pirates.
And ye've learned well yer pirate speak, briny wench... arrr!

I wrote this song about 2 years ago and shared it here on Alonetone back then. I decided to do a studio recording of it recently. With the help of the team at F5 Soundhouse here in Minneapolis we've created this updated version. I hope you enjoy…

I love the way you tweaked it so Yeats rhymes with peat. ;-)
Love the imagery throughout! Just the brand name Guinness evokes so much on it's own, then "warriors' lament", "cry in our cups", et al.
Thank you for another great listening experience, Colleen. :)

This is a song by our guitarist Keith. He doesn't get a chance to jam with us as much since he moved to New York. He and I had a lot of fun working on this simple tune, and it makes me miss times long gone.

Holding what I can’t, what I can’t allow
Desserts of the Higher Plane roll along
Desserts of the higher plane…
Really great song .Feel of soul,feel of heart that is not yours.Music is something I feel very passionate about, my experience in various areas of the industry has fed this passion.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall....
Humpty Dumpty's Warning Song (A preachy cautionary tale)
Pieces of the heavens lost
Shattered like ice on the ground
Desperate men struggled on
To put back all they had found
I sat upon a great stone…

I was so excited when SlKrell wrote to ask if I would do the vocals on this excellent song he wrote! I loved his lyrics and the rocking backing guitars. Hope you enjoy it too!
