Gentleman of Fortune Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 When I lived in England, they had this show on the radio (outstanding Radio 4 which I LOVE!) where they would have a celebrity/famous person on for an interview but the theme was: If you were on a desert Island, what pieces of music would you take with you (assuming the means to play it) and One book (they give you a Complete Works of Shakespeare and the Bible so you can't choose them) and One guilty pleasure (some choose chocolate, some an intsrument, toothbrush, some a bag of pot etc) I will simplify it to what would be your 5 CDs? Book? Pleasure? Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!

Captain_MacNamara Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 If I were given the choice, I would rather have a small axe and a sturdy knife than the music... but *if* these basic survival tools were already provided, I'd take: Music: The Bilge Pumps: Brigands with Big'uns Type O Negative: October Rust Pirates of the Carribbean Sountrack 1 burned CD of Evanescance's best songs 1 burned CD of various Rock songs Book: Some sort of survival book Pleasure: Unlimited supply of either Rum or Cigarettes...

D&D since plenty of people are familiar with it, and no deserted island is ever really deserted. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Blackbead Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I'll take a stab at this one: CDs: 1. Return of the Manticore by ELP (OK, I know I'm cheating here because this is a 5 CD boxed set but . . . PIE-rate!) 2. Soundtrack to the film "Jimi Hendrix," not the new one but a CD of the original that included the killer 12-string version of "Hear My Train A-Comin'" 3. Billy Joel's Greatest Hits 4. ANY version of "Carmina Burana" 5. "Summon the Heroes", John Williams (If you like Williams' soundtracks this is a CD that would blow you away.) Book: My old Boy Scout Handbook complete with annotations Pleasure: A state of the art computer with "Civilization: Conquests" and the entire set of "Steel Panthers" games loaded on it. Be prepared! Blackbead "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."
Rummy3 Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Book: My old Boy Scout Handbook complete with annotationsBe prepared! Blackbead Did I ever mention that I was a Girl Scout? OK - I would bring The Doors CD - being sure it included Roadhouse Blues, LA Woman, Light My Fire, Love Her Madly, & Love me 2 Times... Beatles White Album would have to be #2 So I could hear my favorite Birthday song when needed... And a little Zep would get me over the hump~
Blackbead Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Rummy, I never dated any Girl Scouts but I have eaten a few Brownies! Just kidding! I am NOT a child molester!! But I DO like it when Captain Jasper dresses up in her cheerleader outfit . . . Wait a minute . . . was that my external voice?? Ya know, The Doors are one of those groups that I never think about until I start thinking about some of their incredible songs. And I'd like to know more about this "little Zep" since I would love to have some help getting over the hump! Just kidding, of course, Led Zeppelin is another incredible band! I think that's why this was such a great topic and one that was so hard so respond to - it's VERY difficult to pick only five CDs and INCREDIBLY difficult to pick only ONE book! Blackbead "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."
Rummy3 Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Ahhh - the music of the 70's is perpetual. Brownies, ye say? Hmmmmmm Well, I suppose Pyrate Phil would have somehting philosophical to say about that! I forgot to add my book - I think it would be a book of love sonnets - including Elizabeth Barratt Browning and others. (gotta have some romance while alone on my island!)
Vera the Gunners Mate Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Wow this is a tough one, I know i would have some Aerosmith Cd,s , and since I have been thinking of learning a new language, a cd of learning the French language and a cd of the Galic language, My book would actually be a journal (natrually i would have to smuggle a pen) Guilty Pleasure - I have so many its too hard to choose,
Merrydeath Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 I'm not sure of all of them, but Enya-best of Jolly Rogers Gold Kelly Clarkson- whatever her second one is the CD that Capt Morgan made for me, full of piratey goodness. Three Pints Gone as for the book, I'd want either Harry Potter or Janet Evanovich's (complete works of either) guilty pleasure? either chocolate or rum, seriously. If I could get away with it, all the gold in Fort Knox, since I know they would look for it til found. Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss.
