Well, the spring winds have been blowing and filling the sails of the old ship to bursting. This is the time of the year when we start covering lots of water, seeing many ports of call, and making lots of new Pirating friends. That's the best part of what we do... New places, great friends, lots of music, and good times for all.
There are plenty of those good times already on the horizon. The mighty musical ship has been making regular stops around the area, including visits to old friends at Dido's, Angleton Ice House, Castaways, a stop at the Riverfest in Freeport, and quite a few private affairs with the best of people. Coming up, the ship will be rolling into Freeport for the Fishin' Fiesta (sharing a night with our old friends Dog Town Blues), then into Clute for the annual Great Texas Mosquito Festival (with the Josh Ward Band and Randy Rogers), regular stops to see all of our local friends including the Freeport Ice House and plenty of private parties. There is talk of making a return to Moody Gardens in Galveston this year; a reprise of the great time we had last year with the Beach Boys. The show is not a sure thing yet, and bands/dates have yet to be locked down, but we are certainly hopeful of working with those fun folks at Moody again this year. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
On the band front, the song list is expanding and we are looking to add more original tunes to the song list. A very strong support for the song "Home in Time" has made it a regular in the set list. It is our thank you and prayer for the safe return of our US Military personnel following their service to us all. Pirates aren't known to be the most respectful folk, but we tip our hats and bow fully to those who have kept the greatest nation in the history of the world safe and free. We support you all, each and every one!
Busy times have made it a bit hard to break away from the ship's deck and sneak below decks to add to this blog. My apologies for the sparse updates... I'll try to update more often, before I find myself walking a plank with a sharp cutlass point at me back...
