Captain Sinkwright FREE MP3
From the land of Yarn comes the tale of Captain Sinkwright, Sleepy Pete Ocean Sheep, and the Fish. SS-MOPEHEAD (a 14 song CD) tells of the Captain's relentless search for the Fish and of his love for the Ocean Sheep. Check out the SS-MOPEHEAD and Fly High with Nobody Records! SS-MOPEHEAD was a strange concept CD that I put together. The tracks were recorded without the concept in mind, but soon it was apparent that the songs seemed to be connected in some strange way. I come from a seafaring family - my Dad was a Navy Captain in WWII and was in charge of a mine sweeper that kept our East Coast harbors clear of mines. I have always had a love of the sea and of water. My Dad would take me to fleet week to check out carriers and war ships and since he was a retired Naval officer we would get in to see all sorts of things the general public doesn't get to see. He would take me out on boats as often as he could so I spent time at sea, on lakes and going down rivers. I nearly drown a few times (in the family pool as a child) and I think the water in my lungs (and the fact that the human male at maturity is about 60 percent water) has given me a closeness to water and the sea.
SS-MOPEHEAD is somewhat of a novelty CD (partly a kids CD and partly scary...so beware), but folks have seemed to like it. So...I warn you, it is silly and definately lo-fi. My buddy Jay liked it so much he made Flash cartoons for some of the tracks. Check them out here. From Jay's site (here)..."Captain Sinkwright is at the Port of Yarn loading up his boat getting ready for a voyage in search of Sleepy Pete Ocean Sheep. They meet The Fish along the way, The Monkey and his friends come along to help out. Plenty of danger for all. If you like pirates, boats, ships, sea creatures and cheese, we've got 'em. Click images above to start Flash animation, and sail off on the S.S.Mopehead for a very strange adventure out on the open sea."So here is a FREE MP3 download of "Captain Sinkwright" (click here to download) taken from the SS-MOPEHEAD CD.

Love it! It reminds me of the Pirates of Caribbean ride or Splash Mountain. I'm also reminded of the distinct smell of "ride aroma". It usually fills the air when you're waiting in line for a ride that involves water. I've also smelled it while walking past boats in a harbor. I can only describe it as the distinct smell of water mixed with wood and metal. Weird, but I just love that smell.
Thanks for the comments Jason. I know you're not the only person reading my blog (I have stats to prove that), but you certainly are the only person (other than my buddy Jay) who is commenting on the posts. Thank you for that.
I too love the "ride aroma". Very well put. I wish I lived in the South land - I'd have a season pass for Disneyland for sure. Years ago I nearly moved to Florida, but I'm glad I didn't (although I do like Disney World, for some reason it doesn't have the "feel" of Disneyland). Plus I wouldn't be able to deal with the heat.
Have a great weekend...I'll be blogging from Maine tomorrow.
