A writing soundtrack for NaNoWriMo? Oh, yes. For this project, you know the answer. I’ll be having pirate music, of course!
First, some borrowing from my CD collection at school. (I play classical, jazz, and folk music while students work.)
- Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack–a favorite of students since 2003. Reserved for study hall on Friday afternoons. Begged for at other times, but (heartlessly) denied.
- The Shifty Sailors’ Haul On–seafaring classics for everyone performed by a 17-man chorus from Whidbey Island.
A search of the library’s on-line catalog unearthed these treasures. Some of them I’m itching to own!
- Wind in the Rigging
- Songs of Sailor and Sea
- Rogues’ Gallery
- Irish Pirate Ballads
- Blow ye Winds, in the Morning
Have time for a merry ballad? This one’s a beauty.

I usually write to silence, so having soundtracks is a big departure! I love the rollicking spirit of fun.

whiskey in the jar is a fairly popular piece sung by most irish groups, including my favorite, Marc Gunn (Irish and Celtic Music Podcast http://celticmusicpodcast.com/) and coincidentally they sing of the “Isle of Tortuga”, which one of my favorite authors (Michael Reisig) writes about. http://www.amazon.com/Caribbean-Gold—-Treasure-Tortuga-ebook/dp/B00S6VA6LS/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1445385990&sr=1-1&keywords=the+treasure+of+tortuga
fun to get into this stuff, huh!
