Aarrhhh ye scurvy sons (and daughters) of sea-rats, the pesky pluckers have been at it again.
Pin back yer lug-holes or it's the plank ye'll be hoping for!

First done by Dock Boggs back in the 20s, it's a great piece of melancholy parafunalia. Eerie to think it's a suicide note and reassuring to know he was still a tough old bird 40 years later.
one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
Surprise!!
There's a video for this now. Not a big production job, but ... actually there's no 'buts'. It's genuine lo-fi small production. My favourite :-)
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Eloquent, tuneful and moving - I look forward to perusing the back catalog you've assembled here.
How're things in your neck of the woods? Glad to see you're keeping busy.
Look for a PM from me soon.

Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.
Old fox coming down the road now Bunny Bunny
Run Run Bunny Bunny Go
White tails bobbing in the air there funny bunny
Go Go Bunny Bunny Run…
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…

I believe 'yarrrr' is Pirate for "More Rum, by the salty sheets of Windy Gail". So it could be wearing thin, but is more likely just a little slurred LOL
My Pirate song. Sounds more like a polka band, but what the hell. I had fun doing it.
a song for Gumbo.
we sailed the angry seas
til we found a neutral port
we rowed the ship to shore
to go and find a fancy whore
down at the Buccaneer inn…

This is my 2007 Pirate Day song, written and recorded September 19th 2007. I like the innuendo, but maybe it's too subtle - nobody else seems to notice ;~)
I've been working on this one little by little; now I'm at a point where I do not feel like revisiting the feeling. Moves from 3/4 to 4/4, or so I think.. kind of like a 7/4 time sig but not really. typical glu instrumentation, etc.
Everyone…

Thanks guys and gals. It's be great to have a few more Piratical Ditty's slipping through onto the airwaves this year. I'll be doing another one for sure.
Does my accent sound Cornish?
Wicked!
This was written and recorded on 19th September 05
aka International Talk Like A Pirate Day 2005 ( a wet afternoon as I recall) and is posted here so you start to get the hint.
Thanks Kirk, that's fine by me!
Pirate Day is a right laugh, and a good excuse for a fun song.
Sister - that's fine by me, too LOL thankee. It was a few years ago - I'm a lot more decrepit, now, of course.
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
Seems like there ought to be 11 or 12 seas by now, what with inflation and all. Hugely enjoyed.
This was fun to listen to...Aarrhhh!
Oh Gumbo, I do love your Pirate Day songs. How the heck do you manage to sound so Cornish? Fascinating! Proper job my 'ansome.
Yeah hooo, shiver me timbers. I love this one. Great sea song. Damn fine.
FNG!
walk de plank matey. Yarrrr.
Yeah, definitely nailed the Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg feeling. Love it.

this is so sweet! wicked cheeky lyrics
Cool! Missed this one. How's things on the west coast of Eire?
As always, Gumbo, just terrific musicianship! Holy friggin' Woody Guthrie reincarnated!

Every time I get lost while out running this song plays in my head.
hehe very kool
Bunny track is funny and Cloud makes a movie in my head - Refreshing and Cool sounds.
Well done!!
Was not Woody Arlo's dad? I am not as familiar with Woody Guthrie's body of work,homework for me then,this is cool.
My kind of blues,spot on matey,spot on.
This has a cajun zydeco sound and rhythm to it,I can hear accordions or as you say a hot fiddle sawing away behind it,well cool.
Thanks for the comments. Great fun to play along too.

Thank God for El Dineenio
A passion play for our times.
Ah yes - this ol' stunner - beautiful. (good call moschell!)
added to the Pirate Radio list, by the Scunners!
What could be more Piratical than a Polka Band! Yargghh for the house band, and circulate the flaggons lads!
re: Cornish - that's a puzzle then re: Pirate love songs - plenty of room for a love song - Pirates have big hearts - just ask Davy Jones!
Great. I added it to the Pirate Radio Playlist, Alan. Cheers.

I dig the tune, too. Nice powerful undercurrent to it.
I wasn't drunk. *Oh no ...* Not me ...
Songs about the Sea. Yes. And on the sea ... ships? ... and in the ships? PIRATES?? No? Oh. Sorry.
Wow!
Thank you.

Woo! Pre-apocalyptic dance music. Love it!

ditto the last comment!
Does Highway 50 go passed Lubbock, Texas by any chance. Great jaunty tune!
