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.
In the morning, when we awoke, there was nothing. There were no ashes from the fires of the previous evening. The time for decisions was past. "Yes" was the answer to all questions; and none was the knowledge retained. Wisdom laughs at such folly…
thanks - i've had the album on repeat for a while - this is my favourite track, and the whole thing has a lovely laid back earthy vibe. The Good Stuff!
I fell in love with his track on your RPM player. Great to rediscover it here! The moment the guitar started up I was like, "What is this? I know this already!"
Faved again
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

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!

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!

Brilliant Gumbo! As a Cornish maid, I love your accent!
