So like most of my more creative written work, this one started out with a bottle of Jameson's that quickly turned into Irish car bombs until my quartermaster and I started changing the words to one of our favorite Drop Kick Murphy's songs "Kiss Me I'm Shitfaced". If you don't know the song it's basically a long list of pick up lines used in a bar to pick up women. This is what we have so far... I lead a Pirate Gang, were the most feared in the land, were wanted in both England and France. I sail through Beluga, To drink in Tortuga, With a line of lassies waiting for a chance.

A topic in another thread got me t' think'n about shanties sung in a bit more traditional manor then what we hear them at faire today then I remembered this link I found. He has four CDs it says but ye can sample some full tracks here: Roger McGuinn's Fork Den He has nice handful o' 'seafaring' song such as: Whup Jamboree Perry’s Victory Haul Away Joe Heave Away Bonny Ship the Diamond 'n be sure t' check th' links on th' lower right for a wonderful score o' "The Gallows Pole", he also does a right fine version o' "Silver Dagger". ...now if we can just get Capt'n Scapegoat t' cut a CD, I would love t' hear "Sirens on the Shore" again!

We are trying to identify this song, from Master and Commander, by the lyric sung in the movie, but no luck so far. Any one know the title of this tune? "Come all you bold young sailors, A warning take by me and never leave your happy home to sail the raging sea" Thanks mates!

I don't know if anyone has discussed this or not, but one of my favorite bands has an epic sea shanty/sea themed song that is one of my favorites. The band is called the Decemberists and the song is called The Mariners Revenge . If you have never heard of the band or the song you are really missing out.

So today I get an envelope from an old friend. He had found an old receipt for the sound system I had bought for the band I was in at the time. But recently I had sent him some tracks of the pirate/sea song stuff I had been doing. Inside the mailer envelope was a wrapped present. Inside the paper I found this.. This edition was published in 1920. There are two more editions after it. Here is a page from inside Sorry the spacing is wierd not sure how to fix that with the picture embedding thing.
