Pirate Playlist. Serious 'Heavy Mahogany'

piratefoodco (51)in #music • 7 years ago (edited)

For many years we have had a Pirate Playlist, full of songs about salt, sea and scurvy dogs.

Some of the songs are traditional. Forebiters and shanties. Folk ditties, ballads and the like.
Some songs are modern originals or adaptations.
Some are pure comedy and others still are light hearted with tongue firmly in cheek.

Some bands have multiple tracks on the playlist. The Dread Crew of Oddwood is one such band, who fit quite a few of the categories above. Modern originals and adaptations with more than a hint of good humour. And Pirate themed, of course!

IF you ever played DnD or other such RPG's, either on or off a computer, then you will be sure to recognise a bunch of the best kind of geeks when you seem them. Creative geeks with a bucket full of laughs and great costuming. And, I'll wager, quite a few D20's between them.
