1.Battle Songs of the Toucan Pirates from: Tropico January 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $12.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $13.97
The reviewer who called this music "unique and wonderfully piratey" had it right! I bought this to use as background music when the college where I work sponsored a speaker about women pirates. The Toucan Pirates music is beautiful-- classic Celtic sound-- with a silly, fun twist. Fans of Celtic music will enjoy it, but little kids who are pirate fans will also find something to love. However, if you are looking for sea shanties ("Blow the Man Down" etc.) this isn't the right CD for you.

I know NOTHING about the hammered dulcimer but I do know great music when I hear it. This is perfection. The 23 tracks on this double CD offer a range of selections showcasing the talents of Maggie and her group.

6.Blow Boys Blow: The Tradition Years by: Ewan MacColl, A.L. Lloyd August 01, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $12.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $11.99
This compilation of shanties and sailor songs is far superior to any collection I have ever heard. The combination of the traditional voices and instrumentation, coupled with the unvarnished, authentic lyrics makes this recording stand out clearly as the "real deal" and in a different league than the ubiquitous folksy shanty recordings that sound artificial and wimpy. A.L. Lloyd handles most of the lead vocals and really carries the whole show. All of the songs on "Blow Boys Blow," despite their rough authenticity, burn with excellent melodic and rhythmic brio. A must-buy.

9.Sousa by: Usaf Heritage of America Band, Graham November 05, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $15.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.30
This is an enjoyable collection for Sousa fans who would like to hear a sampling of his works apart from the marches he is best known for. I personally found the "Tally Ho!" Overture, "Last Days of Pompeii," and the "El Capitan" Waltz the most beautiful pieces in this compilation. Pleasing as these pieces are, none compare to John Philip Sousa's specialty. His marches have a charismatic aura all their own, and would overshadow his finest symphony with ease. There are few things in this world as vivacious and optimistic as a Sousa March. As for the Marches on this compilation, they are not so hot. All are excellent Sousa compositions, but with the exception of "Wolverine," The USAF Heritage of America Band delivers weak renditions of Sousa's work. Particularly hard ... Read More

10.Waitin' For A Ride from: Darby O'Gill April 01, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $15.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.15
This is almost authentic and almost Irish. It's also almost professional which is better than the last album these guys released.
