Not enough salt for ye?

Your clarification is appreciated. The Bassist (it’s a cheap old 1950s German plywood bass…the European equivalent of a Kay Bass…which I stripped the varnish off sometime in the last millenium!)

Thanks ☺️

Thanks! We’d love to do the whole song for you (& hopefully THOUSANDS more) and we have a couple of London shows coming up…please drop us a line at [email protected] for more info 😊

@@ianbarnes961 Thanks!

Thanks! Noisy club...with some bonkers unorthodox dancing later on 🤣

Cheers, Gerry! I'm a London-Irish/Scottish mongrol, myself...check out a Celtic Fusion band I was in around 1999 called Penradin, and our album Lunasadh...it's online somewhere. A few of the tracks, like our version of The Monaghan Jig, have been played on Irish radio...enough Royalties for about a pint of Guinnes every couple of years 🤣

Listen here Tracks 1-3, 5-8, 10-12 & 30-33 are Penradin & have been re-released unbranded by ZONE music: www.zonemusic.co.uk/album/zone-519/zone-519-celtic-folk

Yup! First rehearsal bash through...got more than a wee bit wilder that night 8-)

Aye! Before, during & after! This was the first get-together & VERY tame...watch this space for more, now we've played a gig together ;-)

Brilliant @@JonnyGeeDoubleBass

Thanks Jason…check out what my cat 🐈‍⬛ thought on day 6 in the 46 second video clip on this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLQLZxG6G5BP8bt4TiL0Kd7u8061uCvPht&si=BuDf_z-aY0tRfOdd

You have misunderstood & I think you will approve of the actual facts & meaning behind the song: this song was written by Trinidadian musician Lord Invader, using his own island's Calypso rhythms, and with lyrics intended as a protest against American influence on his native island's values and society. If you care to learn more, you can read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rum_and_Coca-Cola

The facts are exactly what I had in mind. US producers stole the song that lamented the lamented the effects of the foreign military occupation and reworded it, to make it into a jeer, a mockery of the occupied.

NB seriously though: don’t do it in open water without surface cover…you’ll start sinking just as you run out of oxygen … no more birthdays unless someone else is there to pull you out! (“Never freedive alone!”)

@@JonnyGeeDoubleBasshahaha will keep in mind :)
