The Bilge Pumps welcome in their newest member, Aloysius, by singing a railroad shanty, "Weldon".

Maroon and Harvey show how to belt out a pirate opera.

Phil McGroin rejoins us onstage and tries to remember the steps to his "Drunken Sailor" dance.

Our good friend Tara from Tullamore came to help us out on violin. This time for a powerful rendition of "The Dark Lady".

Uh, oh. When Maroon drops dead suddenly, then it must be time for "The Night Pat Murphy Died".

Now that's no way to treat a dead guy.

Oh, so that's what the other side of the stage looks like during that song.

Mop gets really close to Harvey on their first date on the "Three Song".

It's time to take a moment and just get to know each other.

It's time to record "Excursion Around the Bay", surely the band won't screw that up.

It's hammer time as the guys show how a pirate really survives those long trips.

Mop does his finest impression of a cockatoo's mating dance.

It's time to begin "Old Dun Cow". It always starts to quiet and controlled...

...then bad things start to happen, like Mop taking off his pants...

...then everyone starts getting jiggy wid' it...

...then even Tara reacts in horror as Squeegy licks the brown sauce off E's thumb after he's had it someplace I just can't mention...

...and that's when you can tell you've reached a new comedic peak.


Our thanks go to Mary Dossey, Donna Fagans, and Rachel Nicholson for their picture donations.
