The Bilge Pumps, responding to the agonizing cries of their fans, decide to make a new CD. Since many of the tracks were to be live, we had to record a live show or two. The first of these shows at the Pig & Whistle brought Bilge Pumps out of the woodwork to participate. At one point, there were 9 Bilge Pumps onstage at once. Now that's alot of timber to shiver!
The first time to record a live show for a CD is cause for a lil' bit o' dancing.

With members of the old guard combining with the new, 8 Bilge Pumps filled the stage at the Pig & Whistle.
|
...and the crowd was, of course, dazzled.
|
Siren the Riggers ducks to avoid notice. That way, she won't get blamed when the pirates sound like... well... pirates.
|
Squint and Squeegy make sure everyone remembers who they are.
|
Someone call animal control! A Celtic sheepdog has eaten Mop's head!
|
The Bilge Pumps look so solemn singing the dirge-like pirate tale, "Fire Maringo".
|
The sudden appearance of stage lights made the 'pumps think the Lord was about to strike them down for hitting that last note.
|
Now if that isn't the look of a band giving their music some soul, I don't know what is.
|
Galleon O'Galleon looks evil with flintlocks for his little fairy wings.
|
Phil McGroin came up to join us for a few songs, making the grand total of pumps onstage to 9. Now that's alot of pumping for the price of admission!

Our thanks go to Donna Fagans and Terrie Lutke for their picture donations.
