Welcome to the Rambling Sailors Logbook. Use the placeholder ribbons on the right to learn more about Rambling Sailors or read the lyrics to our songs!
Looks like we lost several posts when we got hacked a while back.
Anyway, our second CD is done (Bright Shining Clear) and should be available in a few weeks. Matthew did a great job recording us, Jim Hancock stopped by and did several tracks on mandolin and vocals and a few of the Lost Boys helped out on Pirate's Life. Our friend Jason did an amazing job with the album art, we think you'll dig it.
We're on our way to the brand spankin' new Sherwood Forest Faire. We stopped for the night at a KOA in Lafayette and should be there in the early afternoon.
It's nice to be home for the Winter, but it's great to be back out here on the road singing our songs for the people who love them.
Our friend Zilch the Torysteller amused us with this riddle: What do you call a sunny day after two days of rain?
Monday.
It's been a rainy season here at Scarborough, but we've been having fun and making money. It's always nice to be back at the home faire and see all my friends & fans.
We've got contracts for the Siouxland Faire in South Dakota (one of 8 States I've not yet visited!) and we'll be going to the Maryland Ren Fest for their Pirate Invasion weekend this year. I haven't been there since I was with the Corsairs, and Susan has never been.
I got a new concertina, making the jump to English from Anglo. This means a completely different key layout to learn, but I get the same notes whichever way the bellows are going, and it's fully chromatic, so I won't be limited to 4 keys.
We had our two-thirdiversary party last night at the Tipperary Inn, numerous friends, fans and fellow performers came out to say "yay! you got married!"
So that was fun.
Just got off the phone with our webguy, he'll be adding a page for upcoming events right soon. We were sort of using MySpace for that (hence the link to it) but we've let it slide for a while.
