Great! &mdash 09/01/06 - 05:05:38 PM
Such an nice guitar arrangement. The vocals blend well. The mix is really
clean which is hard to do when it's just you and the guitar. The only thing
that caught my attention was the fade, It caught me by surprise. I was
expecting the song to end on a strum. But what do I know. I think this is
your best so far. Thanks for sharing.

Nice guitar work Steve, as usual - perfect voice for a pirate song. Nice
balance between vox and guitar. Remarkable restraint in not including
a dead parrot reference : )

terrific texture in your voice, like the feel of the guitar. Nice guitar sound!

Like the wavy feel of the song, goes nice with the pirate them.

Nice one Stevel!

You've got a great combination of guitar and vocals tones. I like that
it's about pirates, but it dosn't sound like a pirate song. Good writing
and good performance!

I've been out of touch for a while, and I don't get to MJ very often right
now. Lovely song. Not much to add. I'll download and listen to it for a bit.

Great picking, Steve. &mdash 09/02/06 - 05:05:29 PM
I like your melody here, and I like the structure you've created. Very
good folk feel without sounding 'faux folk' to me. Nice low key
delivery.

Can't wait to hear the expansion...

I'll make one small vocal suggestion, which is that sometimes, and I
hear it particularly in this song, you do a sort of slide on the last note
of the line, as for instance on "sailed the seven se-eas", and over the
course of a song it almost sounds as if you're not sure where the
melody is...And it sounds like an habitual embellishment rather than an
intentional one... If you're going to expand this, it might be good to
sing it a couple hundred times, find the note that finishes the line
strongest, and just sing that one. Aim right at it.

I say this as someone who is already very much liking this song. I love
the guitar work, and I like the melody, so I'm really wanting this song
to be the strongest, starkest lovely murder ballad it can be.

My son's in a pirate phase right now... Ya HAD to post the explicit
version, didn't ya?...

Yeah, expand it! &mdash 09/02/06 - 05:09:29 PM
This is just terrific. Nice guitar and vocals. I heard some cuts that Sting
and other well-known musicians did for an album with a pirate theme.
This beats what I heard hands down. I liked everything about this except
the fade-out. I'll definately watch for a future version of this.

blah blah blah &mdash 09/03/06 - 04:16:59 AM
blah blah blah, its excellent, darhling you are WONDERFUL. the usual macjams love-in......

*ahem* &mdash 09/04/06 - 05:56:36 PM
Yep, and I'm not ashamed of joining in a MacJams love-in because I
prefer to support and encourage people who have talent and
motivation rather than making pointlessly spiteful comments.

Love ya Steve, mwah! You'll be getting a vocal from me soon on this
one.

impressing guitarplay &mdash 09/10/06 - 10:38:31 AM
Your guitarplaying is the kind of playing i really love hearing. Your voice is also wonderful, all though i can hear the issues Mister Hannifin is mentioning. Still the vocal performance is great, and you know i love to hear your voice! Great song, its of course a download!

well. &mdash 09/15/06 - 02:53:04 PM
i'm terribly late to the party. i apologize.

this is beautiful. your electric guitars are great, but i'm always soothed
and mesmerized by your acoustics.

lovely little song - i look forward to its expansion. :)
