I unleash my secret weapon!
Guest vocalist Shaka brings the icing to this rather haunted version of the first chapter of Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier!

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

Excellent version! Did you send it in to the Akron/Family? For anyone who is interested, my version is [here](http://alonetone.com/cavestreet/tracks/woody-guthries-america). The web page where the various versions are being posted is [here](http://akronfamily.com/woodyproject/Splash.html).
Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times.
This is the one act musical version.
I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.
sat nite we got together and played thru our rpm album and then listened to your rpm and some others. i was so inspired by your music.amazing, earthy and real. i have officially given up mainstream music! keep doin it gumbo!-MF

OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened?
Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)

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
If they sing good, they are good. I'll be singing 'this ain't the road and it's not the way it should go' for a while. Love that perplexity.
Just stopped by for a listen. I like your approach to blues. It's simple, accoustic, and very enjoyable. ER
Shaka has the voice of an oceanic angel. More please!
Re. RPM - This would be my choice for your preferred track - FWIW. :-)
wow. really nice. powerful stuff.
If I was, then you were definitely Woody in a previous life!!! This is great (like all your other stuff)
I think the lyrics work great - I love them. Amazing song all around...in my favorites.
Excellent album gumbo! I enjoyed each and every song. Mighty fine indeed.
Lovely song, absolutely lovely! Love your stuff Gumbo!
Yeah I sent it in - haven't heard back yet. I told a few friends about it 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!

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