Beautiful, your voice is unique

Thanks for listening, Sister. It means a lot to be back and have you hear it. Yes! Here's to next year!

Curiously, I can hear Dean having a go at this. Not the orchestra, I can't do orchestras in my head, but Deano? Yes indeed!

Leafy walkways, cappucino, and a need to send flowers is exactly the feel I was going for!!

I'm so relieved that it's recognisably a tango :-D

Marz, we were chatting about the pros and cons of including drums and I said I would include at least one this time around. This is it!

Ha! Opener? This one nearly didn't get included for being 'different'. :-D Shows you how much I know!

Thanks folks. What does 'quirky' mean these days?? Do I really want to know? To me it is high praise!

Yep it does help to be able to picture a samoyed running about ;-)

Good Stuff!

Ahh like a lovely cup of tea. I was thrilled to bits when you also signed up this year, and although I failed miserably, you knocked it out of the park...again. Thanks for giving me more breezy music to laugh at the world by. Next year, let's do it again. Any physical CDs this year??

Moody, Wolfy, Sliiick. (Album opener vibes, imho)

Brilliant song - and you make it all sound so effortless. Fresh, cool, quirky (I'm told by my teenage daughters that "quirky" no longer means what I think it means, but they're wrong), just g-o-o-d m-u-s-i-c.

Absolute classic Gumbo. Light and breezy, but with a bittersweet (dark even) undertone...how do you do that!?

Super sweet! Love the mandolin and you definitely achieved the feeling you were aiming for. *googles Samoyed*

Oooh yes!! Sultry! Rhythmic! Loving all the layers, all the twists and turns.

Oof yeah, more tango! Lovely harmonies and dreamy guitar.

Mischievous and irrepressible. The prosecution rests.

This gets a strange emotional reaction from me because I can't imagine you to be anything other than mischievous and irrepressible. But...this is Americana Tango...and I love both. Weirdly though, this takes me to the leafy walkways of Rome and now I want a cappuccino and to send you flowers.

Dean Martin probably wants to record this. I can hear a version with the Hollywood treatment in my head. But this is cooler. You infuse fresh air in everything you record.

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

Thank God for El Dineenio

A passion play for our times.

Ah yes - this ol' stunner - beautiful. (good call moschell!)

added to the Pirate Radio list, by the Scunners!

What could be more Piratical than a Polka Band! Yargghh for the house band, and circulate the flaggons lads!

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!

Great. I added it to the Pirate Radio Playlist, Alan. Cheers.

Great. I added it to the playlist, Alan. Cheers. http://alonetone.com/gumbo/playlists/pirate-radio

I dig the tune, too. Nice powerful undercurrent to it.

I wasn't drunk. *Oh no ...* Not me ...

Songs about the Sea. Yes. And on the sea ... ships? ... and in the ships? PIRATES?? No? Oh. Sorry.

Wow!

Thank you.

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!

Woo! Pre-apocalyptic dance music. Love it!

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.

Groovy!

ditto the last comment!

Does Highway 50 go passed Lubbock, Texas by any chance. Great jaunty tune!
