I build a new one everyday.

[bkavery78]

Ahoy to Pirates, they live in souls of each of us. And to the pirate we met at Indian Rocks Beach a few years back. Hope you are still building your sand castles....

[bertiehiggins]

I'm glad I could be of service...I hope he is doing well.

[BuckeyeKid45]

@bertiehiggins You, my friend, are a truly great story teller!

[bertiehiggins]

Partly truth, partly fiction.

[BuckeyeKid45]

@bertiehiggins Ah but the true secret is to know one from the other and then to blend them magicaly into a story that takes one to those wonderful places! Write on mi amigo, write on!

[1CITRADREAM]

I have a son that was born 10 months after key largo came out.Thnks Bertie or he may not be here!Bernie

[tkmstps]

Wao, que letra, que cancion que palabras, me encanta

[bkavery78]

I need to get motivated to work, but it's more fun listening to Bertie's videos. We're buried in snow here in IL the sea looks very inviting right now pirates are in each of our soul's......

[bertiehiggins]

@bertiehiggins Hi Bertie, chances are that you will not remember me, but we had some good times together in the early 80's when you hit the charts with your hit keylargo, we first met at scooters neon cowboys- Atlanta when I worked as a DJ there, then you moved to Florida and I moved to Amman, but you are always a good memory on my mind.

We have enjoyed your music for around 10 years now . I had just checked in on board when Key Largo went Gold full circle. i never thought i would have the privilege, to see you and your Band of Pirates. As I recall 1st time was the Hudson Seafood Festival . I did not want to go. My wife dragged me there very glad she did. i have enjoyed your music ever since. The Entrance with the Gato Class Submarine caught my eye. the Song i knew the video is way cool

[bertiehiggins]

I like it too...thanks for the kind words.

Bertie

[bkavery78]

Think I luv this one the best.!!!!

Pirates had their silver swords They can steal your heart away Poets had their golden words They can win you with what they say Never knew I had a hero in me Never found much worth fighting for Never knew the beauty of poetry But I'd never loved you before (Refrain) Composed by: Bertie Higgins and Sonny Limbo

[johntientran1]

(Refrain)

Pirates and poets and me, you see

Are one of a kind

Searcing for a treasure like you

And finding the perfect rhyme

Pirates and poets and me believe

In love only when it's true

And the buckaneer and Shakespeare inside of me

Believe that we're in love, with you

[johntientran1]

I was born beside a big blue bay

Grew up on the Gulf of Mexico

Dreamed of the islands with Papa Hemingway

And Old Errol Flynn was my hero

All I ever wanted was to find you girl

Make love upon the seven seas

But if we'd never made it around the world

Key West would be alright with me

[drabh1]

Great Comments Niall, Linda & helpmealso

[pinky88bloom]

Do u hv the lyrics of this song?

[chkjns]

Added to 1983 in my music playlists for each of the last 100 years. Play one and your back in the day, at a movie, by the tv or radio, all the music of that year . . .

[danaheymann]

Key West would be alright with me!

[niallkennedy23]

i do admin. at my local company office but in a way i am a pirate, no rum and daggers for me just a deep sense of satisfaction about some highly accurate filing, but i do have a false leg !

[lindaschneider7]

Hey Bertie,

How about putting Pirates and Poets on CD?

[lindaschneider7]

Knew Bertie in Florida. He gave me this tape. Love it, but no longer have a tape player. Wish he would put it on CD.

[escortRS1600i]

Wonderful, never seen this before. Where do you find these video's?

I have posted a Bertie song myself but its just a montage of album covers.

Been a fan since "key largo" and still love his music

[bkavery]

Pirates are in the souls of all of us.....

[helpmealso]

Might have been the spring of 1983

[helpmealso]

Living in Hawaii in 1982. A friend gave me his tape "Just Another Day In Paradise" We would pick up girls on the beach by putting the earphones on them and walking away. They always went crazy for his songs.

They always found us later with the walkman.

Great times and it worked 99% of the time.

Lots of "later that night"! Been a devoted fan since those days.

[XATZIS19]
