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.

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.
beautiful - and inspired by Dave' comment i have to chime in that it's like finding an old 78 with no label in a garage sale and taking it home and finding out it's Billie Holiday
this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
Here is the "more complete" track I promised with backing vocals.
A song about loving the real me...who do i see when i look in the mirror? Do I love what I see?....i really want to.
your wooden fingers have felt before
and now they…

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
Great Texas Blues song.I like the fact that a classic blues tune like this was written right here in East Texas.These songs are truly part of the history of this area, trains still run the tracks, but not nearly as important nowadays to the people…
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)

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

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.)
