Greetings to all! Point your bow towards Kenny Sanders and have a listen to the song "Blackbead's Melody." It was written and performed by me brother, the Bard of the "Adventure," to honor me wife and I. If ye like his music then he'll be coming out with a new CD soon. He's traveled the seven seas of the music world playing everything from hard rock to country and western to jazz to blues to classical guitar. He's finally found a port that I think will be his home. Enjoy! Blackbead

Hello to all, from Gunner Maggie! The census is winding down, and the number of Bounding Mainiacs is approaching 400. Wow! Going Overboard, Bounding Main's latest CD, is scheduled to be finished The second week of December! This is our most collaborative work to date, and includes a few original songs, a few live takes, a few ballads, and lots and lots of fun! We have worked hard to make this our best CD yet, and we sincerely hope you are pleased with it. We distribute via CDBaby, but it takes them about 30 days to process new CDs, which means you can't get it from them before Christmas, so if you want to order a copy directly from us, write to me a maggiehannington@…

I'm looking for a CD of mostly instrumentals, hornpipes, pennywhistle, etc. My son likes to listen to a CD before bed. We have Hawaiian slide guitar, Spanish guitar, and African music, but now he wants "pirate music". He recognises hornpipes as "pirate" music, but they're pretty lively, so something between that and a lullabies would be good. Vocals are out, unless it's something other than English, because he'll stay awake trying to memorize the songs. I can't imagine where he got that Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

I'm looking for lyrics for a lovely song called "Skellig" or "Maid of the Mariners". The refrain goes something like this: The maid of the mariners watches our way as the ships go to see by night and by day with our eyes on the horizon and our hearts close to home she guards us wherever we roam I've more than likely got some of those lyrics wrong, thus my search for the actual lyrics. Thanks in advance for your help.

You can download Scottish singer/songwriter James Yorkston's gorgeous song of life as a sailor, "Comfort in Rum", free from the following page: http://planetconcert5.free.fr/Yorkston/Yorkston.htm "Here's to the captains with whom I Sought comfort in rum, for I'll toast them no more The cat's got my tongue With them I've sailed through storms And rowed through still waters with oars To return to your shores" ... along with 5 other MP3s of his live acoustic performance, including the brilliant "Shipwreckers". Cheers, Hester

Went into a Petco store recently and in the 'fish' dept. there was piped music that was the sound of the sea splashing against a wharf along with the distant sound of ship or bouy bells and sea gulls. No words, no instrumental stuff, just natural background 'mood music'. Getting a hold of a CD like that would be I thought a nice background noise for a pirate bar area in the house. Checked with the store to see what the CD might be, but was told that it is piped in from corporate on the computer feed. Was wondering if anyone has a handle on this kind or other 'background' noise/music that would be an 'proper' background sound for a pirate bar? Other sound tracks could…

I'd like to give a listen to some, whatever is available. Followed a couple of mentioned links but only found lyrics or artists, no songs. Thanks for taking the time to read this & in advance for any assistance you might be kind enough to lend.

Well, today is Plough Monday, the first Monday after Epiphany (January 6th), when the Xmas holidays officially ended, and farm workers had to go back to their usual labour, such as ploughing the fields. Of course, heading back to work after a holiday is never much fun, so the plough boys would ham it up a bit with some extended misrule that involved sword dancing, etc.: http://www.halikeld.f9.co.uk/traditions/st...tots/stots2.htm Now, while ploughing the fields may have been an onerous chore, it was still preferable to being impressed into the Navy! Here's a broadside ballad that dates back to 1797, in which a handsome plough boy is abducted by the Press Gang at the i…
