Pirates loved music. Seamen, who could play drums, bagpipes, violin, keyboards or guitar or could sing well, were spared, when a ship was taken. They struck up dancing tunes aboard, accompanied the meals with dinner music, or played shanties to pacify the crew, when the rum was running low. During battle they either played bellicose compositions or just produced a hellish row to demoralize the enemy and inspire the crew. |
