a kind of Leon Redbone feel....very cool....

this reminds me of a story from  " A praire home companion" . good job

@dabluroom: It's easy to get a dash of Django into one's head. Tougher on the fingers.

the music....funky folk with a touch of tin pan alley...your voice goes a little Al Jolson at times...very cool song...everything fits snuggly....

Ah, this inimitable John Eagle/Edro touch! Great song, filled with passion and humor. Love it :)

This is so super good Ed! The inimitable writing prowess of the Eagle with your unique approach and delivery is an absolute treat - what makes for great stories!

A ship vanishes with the crew aboard--the mystery begins, but then there are whispers that on occasion the Belle Airore reappears in the waters haunted by the pirate Jean Lafitte. Shiver me timbers! The Eagle's mind conjures the story. He's also been conjuring up several short stories lately, a writing frenzy that fortunately has been shared with me.

lyrics: John

She’s was stately and sleek
The fittest ship in the fleet
Her outriggers gleamed
Beneath all the fresh paint
She was much more than she seemed

Once moored to the bollards
Of Jean Lafitte’s Landing
But that’s the last anyone saw
Of the lovely Belle Aurore

She sailed the seas of Louisanne
The catch filled her nets
The sun glinting on her bow
Just a speck on the sea
Until the sun sets

Once moored to the bollards
Of Jean Lafitte’s Landing
But that’s the last anyone saw
Of the lovely Belle Aurore

Her paint was bright white
With baby blue trim
Not a speck of dirt
No sign of crack or shim

Once moored to the bollards
Of Jean Lafitte’s Landing
But that’s the last anyone saw
Of the lovely Belle Aurore

Yet on a clear day
She may yet appear
As a speck of white
On the blue of the sea

Or in the midst of a storm
On the rollicking sea
She gives a glimpse
Of her stately mystery
Before she vanishes in the fog….
But that’s the last anyone saw
Of the lovely Belle Aurore

Belle Aurore (lyrics: John Eagle)

Hi. I'm Ed. First off, thanks for listening. 

You might notice a link below to a blog site John Eagle and I started to add a new dimension to the stories we tell. 

Once I played in a band that had two Elvises (Elvi) and adopted the pseudonym edro as a cover.  

Mostly it is me playing guitar, keyboards, mandolin, and whatever else makes sense for a song. Most of the songs are original with a few live. The originals are written and performed by edro. I have been fortunate lately to be involved with some collaborations with some real fine folks.
