Ahoy, mates! I'm in need of aid, and I'm sure one of you will be able to help out. I need the lyrics to that classic, "Bein' a pirate is all fun and games..." Don't know if that's the title. It might be "It's all part of bein' a pirate" or even "You can't be a pirate with all of your parts." I've heard it at a couple of gatherings, and enjoy it, but I'm usually ... how shall I put this? ... chemically incapacitated, or perhaps drunk would be a better word, to catch all the lyrics. So I've got one here and one there, but they don't make up a whole song. And on the subject of favorite pirate tunes, it's hard to top "Scurvy" by Cap'n Bogg & Salty. You can hear the MP…

Hey folks, Found this cd out of Greensboro of a show Triad Stage did. Number of traditionals, nonspecific in nature, and some decent originals that while written in modern times are right fine listening...if you don't mind the "pretty folkiness" of the vocals, not the good ol' "pulling style" we're used to. My favs are "Remember My Name" "Can't Love a Bad Man Good" and "Poor Margaret's Incantation". Also has a slower version of Fisherman's Hornpipe and a lively version of Jackie Tarr. http://www.laurelyndossett.com/look-listen/ See bottom of page for full-song samplings. I might be of a mind to "borrow" some from the songstress and rearrange a bit if'n some fellow mus…

A Native Rhode Islander, Jon writes about the historical and current goings on about the smallest states with one of the longest coastlines. His song about a 17th Century Pirate raid is awesome. "Kept on Fishin'" has become a standard amongst the Shanty Groups, both sides of the pond. It's been covered by Liam Clancy of Clancy, O'Connel and Clancy. "Catch and Release" is about a new form of "sport whaling" using suction cup harpoons, you get where that's going! "Restless Waters" let's you know behind the wit and sarcasm is a very big heart. You can find Jon at www.jcampbellwampum.com Incidently, he also makes some beautiful jewelery! Sincerely, Capn'Rob

The Brigands "Pirate Scum" CD has been selected to be the background sound bed for a documentary on the 2008 Baltimore Privateer Day event.

I just heard this one from a Baird at the Estrella War. Loved it...have been searching the internet for it...haven't found it. Any pyriates out there know where it can be found as you have already been there? It went something like this. A good man is hard to find. A hard man is good to find. You can kiss me if you are so inclined, but I'm sailing away in the morning.

In the interest of cataloging songs which speak of sailors, life at sea, taverns, etc., I'm going to keep a running list by year, name and citation. Other specific information about a song, such as the composer, origin, etc., will be listed in posts that follow. Early songs are often recorded in books without tunes or sheet music, and generally bereft of notes on the original author of the lyrics and little or no citation, so finding songs for the period can be frustrating, but we hope this growing list will serve to help further research about music of the Golden Age and before. Songs are listed by the year of their earliest citation. If you should find an earlier …
