Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Lyrics

Tales Of The Caribbean  (c) 2012 David A Briggs.


Narrator: (Jim Hawkins)   I went to sea when I was ten, 
                                        Jim Hawkins is my name.
                                        The salty sea gets in your blood
                                        and drives a man insane.

                                        The cook, a man with just one leg,
                                        would tell of all he'd seen.
                                        Of buried treasure that he'd left,
                                         in the Caribbean.

Ships crew: (acapella)     From Bristol town in eighty-three,
                                       A strong wind to our backs.
                                       We headed to the Caribbean,
                                       with a crew of jolly jacks.

First Mate:                       Haul-away ... haul-away boys.

Crow's Nest Look-out:     Land ahoy !  

Narrator: (Jim Hawkins)  Adventures had along the way,
                                       A sailor's life for me.
                                       I loved the sea and my friend Long-John.
                                       Back then I was so free.

                                       You know the story now I'm sure,
                                       and how it all played out.
                                       And if you see my friend Long-John,
                                       wave to him and shout.

                                       I went to sea when I was ten, 
                                       Jim Hawkins is my name.
                                       The salty sea gets in your blood
                                       and drives a man insane.

Ships crew: (acapella)     From Bristol town in eighty-three,
                                       A strong wind to our backs.
                                       We headed to the Caribbean,
                                       with a crew of jolly jacks.

A fantastic sea shanty with a modern edge & touch of Major Magic. Very well composed, produced & performed.

You did this initially 12 years ago? Wow. Sounds so fresh. Very impressive. I'll say hi to Long-John Silver Beatle next time we mix it up in the Studio. Fascinating, all of this. Well Done!
Now I'm feeling creative... Good on you Mate! Thank you!
