Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.
LYRIC:
Fill up the glass, Bartender
Ply your art
Quench the fire in here, now…
Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
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
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 ;~)

Haha, no, you sound about as Cornish as I sound Irish.
I am recording a pirate song for ye right now, arrrh! (It's more of a pirate love song though...shocker...so it may not fit on ye playlist.)

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!

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.
This is the first demo [Sister Savage](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) and I have made for our RPM 2011 album.
Although I've uploaded a copy here we'd be really grateful if you would listen to the [version uploaded by Sister](http://alonetone…
The other night a few of Elvis's friends came over to see him and the thetworegs were listening in by the ventilation shaft from the cellar and they took a liking to a jam that was happening with a man called Diamond Neil doing the Vocals. This…
After Reg's murderous thoughts it only took an argument about who was going to make the tea to make his beloved leave him but the problem was, so had 50% of his lottery winnings and it was this he took hard, He went on the preverbal bender. Waking…
Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…
My first upload.
This is a cover of probably my favourite song of all time, by The Waterboys, who were introduced to me many years ago when the highlight of my week was Thursday night TV, pizza and quaffing Baileys.
Thanks to Sister S for…
This is the demo version of what was to be a full-on internet band thing. The instruments are place holders (but not bad in part). Just pretend the lead guitar player got into the wine early. Sadly, it will likely never get beyond 'demo', but…
nihilistic? yes. horribly so? not at all. Quite a catchy anthem, in fact. defeatist? possibly ... it depends ..whatcha gonna do about it, eh?
it is kind of ironic being nihilistic *about* a revolution tho ;-)
good track, i loved where the drums pick up in the middle
Having fun (finally) playing around with the riff for this tune by Howling Wolf, which is based on a song by Charley Patton and another by the Mississippi Sheiks and another by Tommy Johnson and so on ...
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
HAHA- brilliant! I love the drunken banjo. How much rum was consumed in the making of this one?
Hey Gumbo, I'm really enjoying your tracks -- that's why i've listened to 12 in a row :)
thank... you!, gumbo
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
It's over here with the coke. Brilliant! Yarrrr!!! You conjure up the coolest pirates! (Is "yarrrr!!" wearing thin now?)
Well, blow me down. Me aints no hornswaggler ye landlubbers. We'll be dancing the hempen jig!
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!
Haha, no, you sound about as Cornish as I sound Irish. I am recording a pirate song for ye right now, arrrh! (It's more of a pirate love song though...shocker...so it may not fit on ye playlist.)
Pieces of nine...... Inflation!

I'd love to participate on the 19th, but I will be in mid-move.. pirate style..will have to take a raincheck me matey, ARRRR
Lively tune and lyrics, sung with cannons a-firin'
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!
hehe, I soooo love this genre.
ARrrrr!!!!!! Can we expect another on 19th? Hope so!!!!!!!!
AAAAARRRRRHH! Matey! I don't have my pirate to English dictionary in front of me, but I think that translates as "brilliant"
Brilliant Gumbo! As a Cornish maid, I love your accent!

aaaaargghh!
