The sea is calm and, as dusk approaches the vessel, the old Pirate Captain meets young Richard (Ricky) London on the upper deck. Enough time had passed so that the boy was becoming used to, maybe even comfortable with his new surroundings. He'd come to respect, even admire, the old Captian for his leadership and skill on the vessel. One might consider it a case of Stockholm Syndrome, as the boy and the captain grown comfortable with one another. And the Captain, never having children of his own, has grown fond of the young boy, somthing he hadn't expected. Little Ricky misses his father terribly since he was set adrift at their capture. The young Jamaican bastard child was raised by his father, John London after the untimely death of his mother. As the old pirate approaches he mutters something to himself in French. The boy, hearing him, responds in French. The Captian, astonished, responds, "Ahh! so you know French, my native language!" As they converse the Pirate Captain discovers the boy knows several languages and begins to test him on the constellations, in several languages. The boy answers each question correctly in the appropriate language, and the Pirate Captain is astonished. It becomes a bonding moment for the two and at the end of the testing and conversation the old Captain puts his arm across the boy's shoulders and says "Good Son!" and he decides to take the boy in as his own. It's a moving scene in the Musical Comedy "Martha Washington Must Die", and I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

From our musical "The Gleam In Their Eyes". In an upscale restaurant, with a potential new managment contract in play, an aspiring young model, Maria, is being chatted up by a provocateur, and a slick and scheming manager who wants to get her back to his room. She's beautiful, smart, bored, and even willing if she gets what she wants, but really

From our musical "The Gleam In Their Eyes". In an upscale restaurant, with a potential new managment contract in play, an aspiring young model, Maria, is being chatted up by a provocateur, and a slick and scheming manager who wants to get her back to his room. She's beautiful, smart, bored, and even willing if she gets what she wants, but really just wants to find work. As the manager, Paul, laughes loudly at his own jokes, we catch her rolling her eyes. Then she spots a familiar face across the way. It's Boan, also a hunky young aspiring model who's working in this particular restaurant hoping for a break. They have history--they were together for a short time--and she calls his name. He looks up and, when he sees Maria, the excitement starts! The music begins as he walks over and begins a modern dance. The chemestry between the two is obvious. Before long the entire restaurant is singing "C'mon, C'mon, C'mon Maria!" Boan picks her up and carries her out of the restaurant--all gets very quiet--and the unscrupulous manager is left alone wondering what just happened!

Aaaaww, an empty chair--where's Martha?---Uh-oh---what did you do? Was it a poison dart? A snake in her bed? Did something accidently fall on her head? What kind of homocidal schenanigans have you been up to? This is from our musical "Martha Washington Must Die". George Washington freed his slaves as a condition to run as the first President of

Aaaaww, an empty chair--where's Martha?---Uh-oh---what did you do? Was it a poison dart? A snake in her bed? Did something accidently fall on her head? What kind of homocidal schenanigans have you been up to? This is from our musical "Martha Washington Must Die". George Washington freed his slaves as a condition to run as the first President of the new Union. Slavery wasn't practiced and frowned upon in the north. But in the south? Well, that was a different story. And Martha's slaves?--well, it was in her will that they would have to wait until her passing. And when the slaves found out? Well,--ooooh-ooooh! and lol!...well...As our lyrics go: "We didn't choose to come, So now we've gotta change what you have done, So Martha, you'd better get ready to run!" This was officially released as a single on October 3rd, 2022. Had a lot of fun doing this one too. Africans are the only ethnic group that didn't come to America looking for a better life, or the American dream. Their slavery was horrific and a stain on our culture and nation. We decided to use humor to deal with a serious subject. Ala Mel Brooks and "Blazing Sadles" meets the founding fathers. Reggie brought this to the table, and originally the tempo was slower. I added a couple sections and had the idea to make it "Punk"--which adds a comedic feel, I think. So I sped up the tempo and I did the lyrics, which he approved of the following week. I hope you enjoy it!
