Pirate Music!

[mythfish]

Since I know there are a couple other people here who like pirate music, I thought I'd pass this along:

Ahoy there! Keep spreading the word about this great project for charity. Word of mouth can make this project something big. Even if you don’t want to purchase the CDs, at least repost this and tell other folks about the project. Please.

Pirates for the Preservation of New Orleans Music (PPNOM.org) and ModernBard.org are pleased to announce the release of the two CD release, Lafitte's Return. Both CDs may be purchased at

The CDs are 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 project 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 is something for everyone on these CDs.
