Sorry- can't agree with SS about you sounding sexy- you ain't my type!, but this a very cool track. I was wondering the date of international talk like a pirate day!

Love the double vocal - you have a fantastic range!
Oh and if you ever have any lyrics, you know, just lying around, that you don't want...I could always take them off your hands...I mean, if you didn't *want* them.
Thanks, Bethan, kirk. it was quite a different writing process for me, and you're right, kirk, a change of pace as well. Perhaps I was just enjoying the last of the hurricane blowing out!
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…
A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).
Old Conor Higgins…
A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...
this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09

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 ;-)
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'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Okay, this is the "finished" version...
Lyrics:
I’ve been meaning to get drunk and try to forget you.
Instead, I’m finding new ways to just upset you.
Baby, I just can’t stay in my mind,
Unintended and unsung, just like all the bad bad…
A solar flare is the ejaculation of energy from the north pole or the south pole of this super concentrated point which has turned itself into a black hole because it has so much energy that it’s sucking in everything around it at such an exponential…
Now ye sons of the kraaken, let's get to some honest pillaging, shall we? Aaaarh!
The devil is an idle jest compared to what's within this chest
No hearts more black than ours they say
trust your own hide to be waterproof only
else they…
Now ye sons of the kraaken, let's get to some honest pillaging, shall we? Aaaarh!
The devil is an idle jest compared to what's within this chest
No hearts more black than ours they say
trust your own hide to be waterproof only
else they…
Here now, there be treasure to hide and we'll bury it full deep in the earth, and ye with it if you tell the tale. To the shovels lads, and dig down.
International Talk Like A Pirate day is upon us, so swab yer decks and break open the Rum…

You sound really sexy.
With a title like that, this shouldn't be feelgood, but damn it is! ARHHHHH!

*sitting* lovely little ditty, Gumbo!

Nice ditty and a kind of change of pace for you. Like it!
Brilliant little ditty, very enjoyable.
Most excellent Gumbo!
Thanks for this morning,Gumbo, really enjoyed it!
Oh, I love these lyrics. You are getting me through my housework this morning.
Great fun track. No cocoa for me - fave!
I was just getting in to that!
You had me waiting to find out what happened - through all those pauses. Lovely guitar playing.
Very cool! Sam Cook stopped by for a drink and to play guitars! Well done!
quite lovely instrumenting here.
Nice one mate and thanks for your comment. Nice guitars
i love the simplicity of this, great vocal melody.
Love that slide!!
Comments made by Gumbo
or perhaps 'Zappa-esque' is a less obscure comment ;-)
Bizzarre! Frank? Bizzarre? *grin*
something about that 'waay overseas' is just perfect spot on
I enjoyed this kirk - it's great to hear a bit of funk in the mix
it sounds effortless, Kavin., but there's some lovely interplay going on in this. Very nice indeed.
I always love the soul in your vocals, David.
this is pretty groovy, too
You're telling it like it is there, mmi
Damn you're on a roll
Perfect - like a cross between Led Zeppelin and Leonard Cohen!
I'm sold - my new favourite band - when's the world tour?
How come i haven't heard your stuff before - no wait I probably have during the RPM mayhem - but this is great I might have to fave everything you do.
Groovy, Kemo Sabé
Gorgeous - and it has that 'Jungle Book' vibe - perfect!
another stunner! lovely lift to this.
Yeah this one came out better of the two Pirate songs this year. Kind o reminds me of the more 'raucous' tracks by the Kingston Trio.
LOL there's still time, laahd. Man the Rum and break out the cannons !!
Aaarhh now there ye have it, by the Beast's Barnacles, and your day will go swimmingly, so it will. Breakout the RUM! And the coffee!!
Never heard nuthin like it neither. Wicked!
thank you - I enjoyed listening to these today.
