If you're a pyrate or chanty band, we'd like to hear your stuff . . .but we'd like to hear "Pyrates Way" in the lyrics. What we're asking is for you to come up with a song about The Pyrates Way and submit an MP3 version of it to steve@pyratesway.com for possible inclusion in our Holiday CD to be given away FREE in every subscriber's winter issue of The Pyrates Way. As a bonus, you'll get the opportunity to advertise in our magazine for free as every entrant gets a business-card-sized-ad in a special section of the magazine.

The song can be an entirely new piece of music (preferred) or it can be the words of a popular song re-written to include "The Pyrates Way" somewhere within it.

We've already heard from a few bands who have come up with some incredible stuff, so get your music in to us today! Remember, we'll fill the CD with the top 16 tracks (or however many will fit) and you'll have an opportunity to be listened to by an audience bigger than you ever thought!

Ownership of the song remains yours and only limited rights for this one pressing and release will be owned by us. . . thus it's still your property.
