Hey yall,

I am searching for a banjo player, preferably claw hammer style, in the Norman, Oklahoma area. I have a band, the Rum Fellows, and our banjo player moved to England. We consider ourselves an Okie pirate band, a mix of a jug band, bluegrass band, irish band, with a little punk rock mixed in......playing "pirate music". Our repertoire consists of Old time tunes, sea chanties, drinking songs, irish tunes, and drinking songs. If you or anyone you know might be interested please contact me at reevesooner@yahoo.com, or on our myspace page www.myspace.com/therumfellows. I have posted a few of our tunes on my profile.

Until this moment, I had never thought of moving to Oklahoma!
Darn me like an old sock, or dam me like a beaver pond, but you sound like MY kind of people.
However, I am just begun a new financial venture here in Milwaukee Wisconsin (the Centre of the Civilised World), and feel that
it would be unwise to spring into a new adventure.

Please feel fre to add, from my Music Files, to your reppy-twa, "BOLD & JOLLY PIRATE" and "NANTUCKET MAID".
Also, if you wish, anything else I've written that strikes your fancy.
I could send you privately, if you wish, the verses of "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms" not suitable for this Family site.

More Free Advice for ye pirate lads!



Hoist yer mousiepointer to th TOP o' this screen, over to the left.

Drive a spike into the spot on the map says
COMMUNITY

Then into MEMBERS HOMEPAGES.

Like a jagged rock through a shallow wave, a treasure trove of blanks will suddenly appear.
One will be labelled "STATE".
Chart in OKLAHOMA, and drop yer anchor on GO.
Ye'll be handed a map with every scurvy dog in the territory, and ye can cast a message bottle at each, if yer crew can come up with enough empties.

Hey Okie, here's a test for ya'!!

Name that tune!!:


You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old sl*t on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy fa**ot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
