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.
I wrote Dancing Vampires while reading the book "The Historian", which is a story of a man and his accomplices’ quest to find Dracula in present day Europe. I love history and all of its grit. This song speaks of primal human instincts. We are…
Inspired by a gorgeous recording on a wax cylinder by the composer, Tanburi Cemil Bey (1873-1916).
Performed on politiki lyra (classic kemençe), a small bowed fiddle from Istanbul.
Recorded at The Banff Centre, November 2008.
This is just a quick little track we did in celebration of reviving the recording computer. It is the opening track of a soundtrack disk for a friend who is running a Call of Cthulhu role playing game. He plans on playing it in the background…
I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!!
So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)
This started sounding quite Nick Caveish and at the same time I wanted to do something with Joe Meek; so it's a murderballad-variation on Johnny Remember me. There's stylophone and theremin in there. The theremin is quite effective at some points…
this is pretty ruff, but i don't see myself rerecording it anytime soon plus i can't find the lyrics and i'm too lazy to write them down ... anyways. i guess its just a bunch of thoughts about God, a little dramatic. enjoy!
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 go back far enough to remember waiting for Ruben and the Jets to be issued on CD, but I think you might have me beat there, kirk. One of my favourite discs. I could get into some beefier backing vocals - that'd be fun.
Nice stereo guitaring, great rhythm.
Love it! Hot vocals, too, heheh, magic!
Who on earth does it remind me of?
Faved. and a fab solo - this has everything :~D
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…
@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you!
@Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions!
@kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!

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!

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!

Funk it up!
That's just the kind of anthem we need round here!
loved the rhythm in your vocals - and they are a good contrast to the backing. the music is mesmerising. Je vous remercier
Nice intro! reminds me of Jack L. Very cool!
Thanks to Bethan, or I wouldn't have known about this. Beautifully played. Have you got any more music?
Not a moment too soon!
Yep! we can see out again, now! This is definitely an up and at 'em track :~D
LOL Yes! That's what this needs - a video with thunderstorms and dancers!
Good! I'll listen to this and then go and mow the grass!
Missed this. Bravo!
Ah! Domestic Bliss! I like this version a lot ;~)
Excellent. You nailed it!
those harmonies coming up to 3 minutes make the back of my neck start to stretch! Sublime!
FUN KEY !!
Brother Ray. Yes, and some Strummer, too. Kicking!

lovely contrast between the pace of the guitar and the laid back vocal. Great! Reminds me of Nick Drake in lots of ways.
@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you! @Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions! @kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!
Hahaa! Certainment! Bring your potions - the more the merrier!
