Ray Arnoult is the owner of Pirate Guitar Effects out of New Orleans/Wichita. Guitars AND pirates? Yeah!
We talk about growing up in New Orleans and how that affects a child's musical experiences. We'll find out how Ray is making his company stand out in a the very crowded guitar effect market. And we'll find out the flag of Republic of Bimini was pretty darn violent.
Plenty of guitar talk too. I've got you non-guitarists covered with a little edumacation at the top of the show so you can follow along. More info in the full show notes too. Be sure to check out all the videos for sound samples of the stuff we're talking about.
And why am I in the closet this week?

Throw up the horns! Time for some UK pirate metal with Dave Everitt of Red Rum.
We dig into the band's beginnings and how they settled on being pirates instead of Vikings. Plus Dave's early childhood in South Africa and his early singing experiences in classical music.

Lydelle Joubert is from StableSeas.org, an organization that researches and tracks modern piracy around the world. They act as an information resource for the maritime industry and create programs to combat piracy.
We'll find out the difference between piracy, terrorism, and robbery. And we'll dig into where the piracy hot spots are now. And it's no Somalia! And we'll hear about what's being done to combat piracy in the worst zones.

This week we trek out to Sweden to talk to Erik Andersson of Stormfrun about spreading pirate fandom in their home country, the decisions about which language to sing in, the Swedish Pirate Armada and more!
Plus, I learn how to pronounce Stormfrun and then proceed to mispronounce it all over the place.

Happy 2019! For this first episode of the year I thought I'd try a little experimental episode. We're going to take a deep dive into 1926's The Black Pirate starring Douglas Fairbanks.
It's a great movie all by itself. But digging into the film's background of breakthrough Technicolor use, inventive stunts, and movie magic makes the whole experience even more fun.

Here's the Myth Busters episode where they try the Blade Break and a bunch of other piratey things. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vmu3k
Here's Reaching For The Moon, the 1930 Douglas Fairbanks talkie. https://youtu.be/U5rTvWMx_Aw?t=3027
And here's the Key and Peele sketch where they do the pirate song that looks just like the meal scene in The Black Pirate. https://youtu.be/MwUUDypEDNQ
