Will Fiddle Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Hello all. William, the Fiddler from Port Washington here. I was the best fiddler because I was the only fiddler. Of course, that also means I was the worst fiddler as well. Is a round of drinks in order? Your most and obliged humble servant, William Dezoma
Ransom Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Welcome William! Enjoyed your fiddle playing very much, and was honored to be allowed to hold Maevis a few times. Hope she didn't mind too much. Yes, a round of drinks is in order, or the natives get hostile! They're very good at telling you what they'll have, all you need do is provide the shiny to pay for it. Welcome to the Pub, mate. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Capt. Sterling Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 I shall officially welcome ye here again William! Ye and Maevis can follow me any where! Ye were both a delight and made the event all that much better. I shall thank ye kindly for a Tawny Port.

Jacky Tar Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Welcome Will Fiddle! We could use some musical entertainment. The last fella wot made music here got him self shot. Haven't had many step up since.
Mad Matt Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Mister William! Welcome aboard. Yer fiddle is most welcome. Jest think - if'n ye can't really play all that well, we'll still find it useful stokin' th' fire!!!! And since yer buyin', I'll take an ice cold Corona. Thankee. You will be flogged. And God willing, come morning, you will be flogged some more.
Will Fiddle Posted June 15, 2007 Author Posted June 15, 2007 It is good to be here. Hopefully my music won't wake to many of the drunkards sleeping off their folly. Learning some new songs this week. Mostly songs of canadian voyaguers, but sweet songs nonetheless. And one is even slightly bawdy (Avec mon Blonde : With my Blonde) or so I am told, but since I only speak faux-francias, I can't actually read the lyrics. Also learning a new song which is completely period correct for GAoP, "Down Among the Dead Men" Found a GREAT site for this material http://www.contemplator.com/england/deadmen.html >Hoists mug with corky port< Cheers to you all! Your most and obliged humble servant, William Dezoma
Cheeky Actress Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Welcome William! 'Tis good to see ye here about. We are blessed to have ye come and join us. Bring your fair 'ladies' and we will all drink, dance, (hey, we've got picture of us dancing) and make merry with you! Oh, I'll have a cider thank you! Member of "The Forsaken"
CrazyCholeBlack Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Welcome Mr. William! Good to see you here. Ah, yes, Down among the dead men is one of my personal favorites. Although I'm also partial to Mr. Playford's Childgrove and Jamaica. Then of course there is Mr. D'Urfey's volumes, which are hard to beat in their sheer quantity. But I digress, back to the drinks! Even though I know you're not much into gallivanting, this *is* a special occasion. How about a round of Rum Flips for everyone.

Will Fiddle Posted June 15, 2007 Author Posted June 15, 2007 Though my coin grows scarce, another round it is! I will have to spend more time with the Prickadee Stitchery, but such company is worth the trouble. For those in Wisconsin, I am proposing a day of getting together for music sometime in July. Not many events--too hot--but a small get together with singing and dance could be fun. Any other parties interested? Your most and obliged humble servant, William Dezoma

"Pills to Purge Melancholy" what a marvelous conceit. Your most and obliged humble servant, William Dezoma
CrazyCholeBlack Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 I don't know the first two, but I can look them up. D'Urfey's volumes are great. "Pills to Purge Melancholy" what a marvelous conceit. There is an on-line printable archive of all the Playford songs, someplace. I know I've posted it before & I know it's in my endless favorites list. Unfortunately I'm having a poor *finding* week and can't spot it amongst the hundreds of other links. Perhaps someone more organized can help out here. If nothing else, those of us in the vicinity of the cheesehead state should get together, music, dancing, dare I say a few rounds of the Passtime of Memory (yes, I'm determined to get others to play this game already!) Should that happen, I'll toss my print copy in the bag. "If part of the goods be plundered by a pirate the proprietor or shipmaster is not entitled to any contribution."

Rumba Rue Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Welcome to the Pub! So how about telling more about yourself?
Capt. Sterling Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Will is a good one Rumba. He's a part of the Archangel crewe so no need to worry about him ... Now Will, no spamming and no listing all them porn sites of yours....

'Bastian Devareaux Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Salut et faire bon accuril a qun, mon ami! It is grand to see that your compass has given you correct bearing to our petit cyber home away from home. Wonderful to be in your aquaints, once more. As to libation, un Pernod will suit me quite well, s'il vous plait. It is time to pause, even so early, for this account is not intended to be about my life...but is, as I have said, about my life's secrets. Secrecy is intrinsic to my work. ~ Christopher Priest “Five and Twenty Ponies, Trotting thru’ the Dark. Brandy for the Parson, 'Baccy for the Clerk. Laces for a Lady, Letters for a Spy.Watch the wall my darling; While the Gentlemen go by.”~Rudyard Kipling

Will Fiddle Posted June 16, 2007 Author Posted June 16, 2007 Bon Soir! C'est un grand plaisir d'être parmi de tels "bons" gens. Such un plaisir. I am a fiddler, but as my personna grows, it will be revealed that I am also a physician. Galenic medicine is a marvel. Balance the humors and everything sorts itself out. It almost works. If you have something wrong in your guts, the physician prescribes something to clean you out from top or bottom, and viola! the pain is likely to abide. Of course, considering the amount of rotten food consumed in our Golden Age of Piracy, and it becomes clear that even purgatives and emetics have real value for health care. I have already begun collecting odd bottles for my pharmacy, and I have made contact with a lady doctor from the late 18th century who can help me gather materials. After all, one cannot stroll to a Walgreens and ask for five ounces of Dragonsblood. For starters, the chain won't exist for about three centuries... Your most and obliged humble servant, William Dezoma
Capt. Sterling Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Ah just think Nero fiddled while Rome burned and Will fiddles whilst he ... damnation!

'Bastian Devareaux Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Voila!!!! The truths are revealed and enigma vanquished! How is it that I missed this joining of puzzle peices until now? How wonderous strange!! I due believe you to be most befitting the bill for Chirurgien's post, William. And I further offer my steadfast felicitations in its' conquest! Bravo, Monsieur! Bravo!! Hmmmm.....Oui, I must agree that one might be hard pressed to find familliar Walgreens placard hanging over any apothocary's door in the Baroque / Rococo time frames... Pauses to scan the surround and drops voice to whisper But you see, there are ways to obtain and quell the desires for wanted things...For, shall we say, things of certain repute.
