Animaterra Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Arrrgh! It has come to my attention that the Northeast Squeeze-In will coincide this year with Talk Like a Pirate Day, Sept. 19. It seems to me that there has to be more than just poetic justice in that. There's got to be a way to honor the dual dates in an appropriate fashion. Any ideas?
Animaterra Posted September 5, 2004 Author Posted September 5, 2004 (edited) Shiver me timbers! I didn't realized that I'd become a chatty concertinist with whatever post came before this thread! Edited September 5, 2004 by Animaterra
Stephen Chambers Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 (edited) There's got to be a way to honor the dual dates in an appropriate fashion. Any ideas? How about playing "Captain Pugwash", a.k.a. The Trumpet Hornpipe, at frequent intervals, or if anybody makes a pirate reference, during the day. (Or is that too much of a British reference, was the pirate cartoon show Captain Pugwash ever shown on US television ?) Edited to add picture. Edited September 5, 2004 by Stephen Chambers
JimLucas Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Arrrgh! It has come to my attention that the Northeast Squeeze-In will coincide this year with Talk Like a Pirate Day, Sept. 19. Hmm. Maybe I could show up with a parrot and a pistol, and relieve you all of your instruments? (Should have only one eye patch.) Oh, right. I can't make it. By the way, on the 19th should I talk like a real pirate... or like a ridiculous stereotype?

There's got to be a way to honor the dual dates in an appropriate fashion. Any ideas? Arrrrrpropriate music o' course! Coincidentally, the piece I'm working on for the concertina band happens to be a sea tune!

JimLucas Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Let's hear some suggestions for arrrrrpropriate pirate music. I don't know any. There are a number of traditional ballads about pirates and piracy, including Captain Kidd and The Flying Cloud. Or how about Barrett's Privateers?
Alan Day Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Arrrr Jim Lad, Sixteen men on a dead mans chest Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum. hic Al
Stephen Chambers Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Hmm. Maybe I could show up with a parrot and a pistol . . . . . . and don't forget your wooden leg Jim !
bellowbelle Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 (edited) Any ideas? I most certainly will NOT be sleeping near the window, then. No guys in green leotards flying in, thanks....Peter Pan or whomever! I am not the same Wendy that said, 'I think we should all turn pirates.' whomever...or, whoever...or, whatever....too tired, now.

Rod Thompson Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Let's hear some suggestions for arrrrrpropriate pirate music. I don't know any. Pirate music used to be hard to find - perhaps on a cart or two of CD's in Hong Kong, but with the advent of the internet, there is any amount of pirate music readily available.
JimLucas Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Sixteen men on a dead mans chest Makes it very difficult to breathe!
JimLucas Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Hmm. Maybe I could show up with a parrot and a pistol . . .. . . and don't forget your wooden leg Jim ! That's hollow leg.
Alan Day Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 All these postings remind me of a sales call I made many years ago,when I asked the receptionist if I could talk to the Maintenance Manager. After a brief call the young receptionist said "He will be with you in a minute"."Thank you can you tell me his name". "John Long". "Has He got a parrot on his shoulder"? Two minutes silence " No he dosn`t like parrots"!! Al
lildogturpy Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 I never knew the title of the Captain Pugwash theme - now I'm enlightened :-) I've been working on the College Hornpipe myself (Popeye theme tune)
David Barnert Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Aye, thar's nowt new about "Talk Like a Pirate Day" at the Squeeze-In. I'were Friday o' last year an were very much in evidence. This year it be Sunday.
John Wild Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Sixteen men on a dead mans chestYo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum. I thought it was 15: 15 men on a dead man's chest Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum. Not one man of the crew alive Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum What put to sea with seventy-five Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum.
Alan Day Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Another one died since the song was made John. Al
