about

Back in 2009, my brother had a group of friends who jokingly referred to themselves as "The Top Hat Pirates." While I never met the majority of these individuals, I was inspired to make a concept album of songs representing each of the members of the crew. Ten years later, I reimagined and remastered these songs to make a proper release of the album.

Two songs from the original collection are not included here, as these are covers and I do not have the rights to sell. The songs were a mash-up of the Dr. Who Theme & Dr. Worm, by They Might Be Giants, as well as a cover of Simple Man, by Klaus Nomi. If you want to hear them, I'll be happy to send copies via email!
