Pirates for the Preservation of New Orleans Music

[Red Maria]

This was posted on an academic pirate list I'm on:

Pirates for the Preservation of New Orleans Music (PPNOM.org) and

ModernBard.org are pleased to announce the release of the first of a two

CD

release, Lafitte's Return - Volume 1. The CD may be purchased at

http://kunaki.com/sales.asp?PID=PX00BWWNNP

The CD itself is a who's who of the top names in pirate and maritime

entertainment including, Skip Henderson & the Starboard Watch, the

Pyrates

Royale, Tom Lewis and many others who volunteered their music to this

project.

The proceeds from this CD benefit the New Orleans school music programs.

PPNOM is dedicated to replacing the musical instruments destroyed by

Hurricane Katrina, especially now when spending on New Orleans music

programs is at an all time low. By purchasing this CD for yourself (or

as a

gift for that pirate lover in your life) you are helping the pirate

community ensure that the musical soul of New Orleans lives on for

generations to come.

With the largest gathering of seadogs since Morgan sacked Panama, this

album

(along with its soon to be released companion album) covers a wide range

of

styles from traditional shanties, to pirate ska and pirate metal. There

I'm surprised that New Providence didn't make the cut....
