Dean Martin probably wants to record this. I can hear a version with the Hollywood treatment in my head. But this is cooler. You infuse fresh air in everything you record.
Smiling in the first few seconds. This is the Gumbo I love. Lies and Tales is one of my absolute favourites RPM albums of all time, so the bar is pretty high - but this is toe tapping classic Gumbo awesomeness. Yep yip.
I live in faith that one day somebody will make a movie or tv show in the appropriate milieu to feature your music and it will receive the accolades that it deserves. You're such a great songwriter and your sound is pure and authentic.
A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...
this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…

This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.
Final version
Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.

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.

Ha! Yes. My voice was shot on this one but I wanted the character to sound old so it felt appropriate :D Thanks for listening
Nice, vocals match the music perfect. :-}
Can I heart this song again? There. I did it.
Uh...what? Where? How?
Dude. You're such a good songwriter.
I love this track, something about the instruments movements really strikes a feeling. I cannot explain, but this song resonates.
You certainly have some lovely melodies on the guitar my fave so far although I like them all
Howling good riff
Nice playing just perfect for drinking coffee too

Back-at-ya sassy. Well done :-)
This is really cool !!!
Cool---- the rough guitar and vocals fit the mix nice :-)
I could listen to this all day!
This is a classic indeed. Love your vocals too. Thanks for listen8mg to a few of mine as well. I hope all is well in your world.
Nice! Love the style and the lyrics
oh yes!! This is fun....more Kazoo :)
wow....so beautiful! Great lyrics. Seriously fantastic. I'm an old Dylan fan and this hits the spot.

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!

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