Man, am I happy to find a copy of A Pirate's Life. I gave my cassette away to the bass player for some touring band (Fluid, I think). Now I can play Captain's Boy for my children! Thank you Leon's Temple!
This casette is truly one of the greatest recordings to ever come out of this town. Jim Backus, Check Out My Butt, not to mention a Pirates Life. Pure genius. I can see Martijn on stage at the State in his jumpsuit like it was yesterday. Peeters and his flashpots... A nice run up the neck followed by a burst of flame from the headstock. How does it get better?
