1991 Maryland Renaissance Festival
Lady Vanity Hornblower joined the crew as the official hostage, and "the Pyrates" as they were known, had a strong second season at the festival.

1992 Maryland Renaissance Festival
This was the Year of Sea Change for this crew: Capt. Jack Rackham, Harvey Blind Pew, and Jimmy the Crimp all left the service. First Mate Fletcher Moone took the helm as captain, and Long John Skivvy and Ensign Wesley Stubbs joined up. The "new" band changed its name to the Pyrates Royale. And then there was the HMS Sinkwell...! Too bad there's no photos! Please be patient, there will be soon...***

1996: Christmas at the Kennedy Center
We sang a variety of holiday songs, both traditional and "improved," to some poor, hapless overdressed victims who were trying to get into the holiday spirit. We had fun, they had migranes -- a successful evening all around!
Harrumph, the Kennedy Center is a terribly serious place
Good thing the floor broke our fall
