Jim Blackbeard Laird

Jim Laird is a name I've been hearing around the pirate community since I started this show.  So I'm super happy to have him on the show today!

Jim has survived as Blackbeard longer than Blackbeard himself.  And he takes his Blackbeard shows to entertain the kiddies with fun and the adults with history and stories.  

We'll dig into how Jim stumbled onto his alter-ego and what it was about donning the rig that made him want to keep doing it.

Bruce Mercury and TL Jones of Band of Pirates

For extended show notes and more pirate goodies, visit www.UnderTheCrossbones.com  

Bruce Mercury and TL Jones are creating a universe of pirate goodness under the name Band of Pirates.  The full length feature film has led to books which are leading to a TV series, music and more. Ambitious!

We'll find out how they're managing all these different projects and how they got their feature film made at a time where that was much tougher to do.  And Bruce will tell us a bit about his time on the set of the movie "Hook", one of my all time favorites! :)

Brian Fields of Pirates of Emerson

For extended show notes and more pirate goodies, visit www.UnderTheCrossbones.com  

Brian Fields had "the Halloween House" on his block as a kid.  It eventually grew to have a lot of pirate stuff.  It also eventually got too big for its britches and had to become a much larger, much scarier event that turned into Brian's full time gig.

Pirates of Emerson is now the premiere haunt in Northern California and includes 5 haunted attractions, music, performers, and all sorts of other ghoulish delights.
