The Bilge Pumps returned to the Meadow Stage for the majority of their shows. Much to the chagrin of the nearby shop owners. |
Squint & Squeegy go night-night during the slower first half of "Mingalay Boat Song". |
It's Muskogee, and that means our Pirate Queen, Megan is back with us. Here Maroon warns the audience of her oh-so-evil cuteness. |
It was Squint & Squeegy's last appearance with the group, so Squint celebrated by going shirtless in the heat, probably to punish the rest of us. |
Ah, but Squint was not through yet. He casts a voodoo spell on Squeegy until... |
Presto! The torture of the band is complete as Squeegy's shirt goes flying off, too! |
The Bilge Pumps can't help but get all weepy when singing about Charlie Mops in "Beer". |
E traps some poor child and forces him to be a target... er... assistant for Kailyn's whip tricks. |
Ah, the air conditioning show! The pirates move inside for their "special" performance before the knighting ceremonies, where our Mop gets down and dirty. |
Galleon O'Galleon changes his look for Muskogee to go with all black, so we started calling him the "Dwead Piwate Wupert". |
Maroon takes hold of the situation for Mop on "Roll the Old Chariot Along". |
Yep, let's all point out the Cabin Boy's white butt. What we should be asking, though, is "What's up with Maroon's hat?" |
Mop gets a crackingly rude surprise from Kailyn during "Mrs. McGrath". |
That's a dangerous game of limbo them pirates like to play. |
Maroon goes all kamikaze fighter pilot on Squeegy during "Sailor's Prayer". |
It's serious music time as The Bilge Pumps indulge in the story of "Spanish Ladies (A Pirate's Tale)". |
Mop escalates the usual water spitting in "Congo River" to a full-blown water fight! |
Unfortunately for him, Galleon's poor little gun wasn't up to the task. |
C'mon, you can't tell me you haven't wanted to shoot Maroon yourself! |
Between shows, the bocci competition was always on between the Pumps and Tullamore. 'Course Mop was sweet on Sonya from Tullamore, so he always let her win. (Yeah, right) |
Squint begs for the Megan the Pirate Queen to give him back his hat. Easy to tell who's in charge around here, eh? |
The Bilge Pumps indulge in a moment where we all are playing instruments on "Haul, Boys, Haul", except for the singers who are busy... uh... singing... we think. |
Our thanks go to Donna Fagans and John Wilburn for the picture donations.
