Boy, that's a shabby image I made right there. Sorry. I didn't want to spend too much time on it. The images were taken from Google, I didn't save where I found them all. Sorry!
Anyhoo - I did a radio show this week about captains, & it's the reason I'd be thrown to the sharks. There are plenty of songs about real-life captains, fake-life captains, captains in general, & captains specific. There's a report from Marge Most about trouble in the world of riverboat captains on the Ohio, there's a call from Mark Miller about famous captains of television & film, & there's an interview with David Fruchter, a cruise ship captain. I don't know if you're the sort to suffer from what the French call mal de mer, but I have it on terrible authority that this show will give you your sea legs. Ahoy!
The show can listened to on land but preferably at sea now if you download it from the Self Help Radio website. Unlike when you're sailing the great oceans, there is a username & a password you'll need to use. That information is located on the website & not, as you might expect, with the other treasures down in Davy Jones' Locker. The songs that I play are listed below - the show is two hours long & in two hour-long parts.
Listen or I'll make you walk the plank!
