Hi folks I was thinking that Heavy Metal Music and Pirates go hand and gloves and Yes I do know about Alestorm, but I was thinking more Undead then living Pirates. LW

I did a quick search to see if these guys had come up before and didn't see anything. Ran into them at the Bristol Ren Faire and they've been on my playlist ever since. They're not remotely period, but they have a great sound that conjures the popular, fantastical image of pirates. Their genre is what they call "Heavy Mahogany," as it is folk-metal inspired, but played on acoustic, folk instruments unlike most "Pirate Metal" and the like.

With a grand numerous pair of weathered eyes sharped enough to spot the finest of information on the World Wide Web... I'm looking for sheet music of period songs to learn on my viola and play at events. I do not mind if they are treble clef or alto clef (I've learned my Music Theory well, I can convert), just as long as they are period songs. As I said, would like to learn songs and play them at events. Thank ye most kindly, Pubmates. ~Lady B

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 …

The Bilge Pumps are proud to present our latest pirate music recording, "The Idiodyssey"! (From the press release) Rollicking between goofy pirate comedy music, somber and tragic stories of woe, and fun drinking songs, this album takes traditional nautical tunes and gives them a piratical overhaul flavored with the Bilge Pumps´ brand of goofy comedy and musicality. "The Idiodyssey" is the band´s first strictly nautical music album in over six years and it features sixteen tracks of music for that salty dog in everyone. This recording, being a touch more serious-minded than the group's prior albums, is a culmination of two years worth of rehearsal, recording, and mixing…

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…

Last year on Valentine's Day, I made a youtube movie for "Before the Mast" using Ronnie Ronalde's "If I were a sailor", because it was, at the same time, a sea shanty appropriate for the time and a love song. Any suggestions for this year? Please, I need a few suggestions, because I can't guarranttee, if they are only 2-3, that I'll find any of those songs. Among several, it is easier to choose... My only idea is "Voici la St. Jean" by Malicorne, because it has been featured a few times in the most active thread we had last year. But if I find something in English, sea-related and love-related at the same time... the better!
