The Bilge Pumps - Past Landings: Shakespeare in the Park 2000

Fort Worth, TX July 1, 2000

The Bilge Pumps rolled into the land of the bard as we entertained the crowd at Shakespeare in the Park in Ft. Worth. A large crowd of appreciative folks were on hand for the culture shock of watching and listening to pirates singing before the refinement of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". I hope none of that good manners stuff rubbed off on us!

E and Squint argue back and forth again about who can sing the cleanest song, Maroon... or Kailyn.	The rest of The Bilge Pumps are in danger of getting knocked off the stage when E starts busting a move.	Kailyn just makes the sweetest face as Squint sings about his darlin' Nancy on "Haul Away Joe".
Phil McGroin has his arms flapping like someone stuck a tray of ice to his butt.	Here's a good example of the singing face that Phil always makes when he's trying his hardest. We all think it's damned funny.	Not to be outdone, Squint makes his own singing face. This time he's not imitating Phil, but making a strange face all his own.
Adding to the normal pressure of singing in the right key, The Bilge Pumps have an enormous snake waiting to chew on their red apples if they screw up.	It's a miracle! Squeegy made an expression other than fright on stage!	The Bilge Pumps prepare to rap. Squeegy apparently does it by acting like an Egyptian harem girl!
