I am slowly becoming aware of a sneaking suspicion that Cari was not, in fact, on dialup or something all day last Saturday, but that, instead, I called the same wrong number four times in a row.

Augh.

But yes. I am home again this weekend - came back for the Great Big Sea/Lúnasa concert last night which was fantastic, even if we did leave early because it was too loud and we're both weenies. Lúnasa was absolutely amazing - they also have a hobbit fiddler, who is just fanfreakingtastic. And Great Big Sea - omg. I've never heard anything of theirs live, so it was weird to hear them sing things I had - the timing was different, which, duh, but it was still weird. And they did something a little odd with Donkey Riding, which I could describe if I were at all musical - it sounded flat, maybe, or as though it were in minor, or something. Very cool, all told.

Also, I love bagpipes.


My name is Captain Kidd,
As I sailed, as I sailed,
Oh, my name is Captain Kidd, as I sailed;
My name is Captain Kidd -
And God's laws I did forbid,
And most wickedly I did, as I sailed.

My father taught me well
To shun the gates of hell,
But against him I rebelled, as I sailed;
He shoved a bible in my hand,
But I left it in the sand
And I pulled away from land, as I sailed.

My name is Captain Kidd,
As I sailed, as I sailed,
Oh, my name is Captain Kidd, as I sailed;
My name is Captain Kidd -
And God's laws I did forbid,
And most wickedly I did, as I sailed.

I murdered William Moore,
And I left him in his gore,
Twenty leagues away from shore, as I sailed;
And being crueler still,
the gunner I did kill -
All his precious blood did spill, as I sailed.

My name is Captain Kidd,
As I sailed, as I sailed,
Oh, my name is Captain Kidd, as I sailed;
My name is Captain Kidd -
And God's laws I did forbid,
And most wickedly I did, as I sailed.

I was sick and nigh to death,
And I vowed at every breath,
Oh, to walk in wisdom's path, as I sailed;
But my repentance lasted not -
My vows I soon forgot -
Oh, damnation is my lot, as I sailed.

My name is Captain Kidd,
As I sailed, as I sailed,
Oh, my name is Captain Kidd, as I sailed;
My name is Captain Kidd -
And God's laws I did forbid,
And most wickedly I did, as I sailed.

To the execution dock -
Lay my head upon the block,
Laws no more I'll mock as I sail;
So take warning here and heed
To shun bad company,
Or you'll wind up just like me - as I sailed.
