Whilst I can't take the credit fer pennin' this here fine tune...I felt the need t' be sharin' it...so 'ere it is. Enjoy it mates... Here be a little back story fer ya: "This song tells of a lavish ball at the castle of Cairrigh Muir, that was sabotaged by evil-minded pranksters. It involved three crucial elements: the punch being spiked with a potent aphrodisiac; painfully itchy rose-hip seeds being thrown on the dance-floor, where they were kicked up into the ladies' undergarments; and, at a crucial and premeditated moment, all the lights in the castle being extinguished. What followed next was, by all accounts of the day, 'an orgy of sich greet magnituid, that twenty…

I recently downloaded Skip Henderson's song "Billy Bones" from iTunes and I'm trying to find the lyrics. I've done searches on google and so forth and turned up nothing. Skip's myspace page has no lyrics and his personal homepage appears to be down. Spiral Six had tribute page with the lyrics but it mysteriously vanished before I could copy them down. so... does anyone have the lyrics to Billy Bones?

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@…
