The Town of Odyssey

when you were younger (or now) did you (or do you) listen to Patch the Pirate? I used to love it!

I used to love listening to him, and I still love listening to him! One of my favorite Patch the Pirates is The Custard's Last Stand.
I love the puns in the tapes. Puns that you don't get when you're a little kid that make it so much fun to listen to when you're older.

I did and do. I was even in a play, The Calliope Caper. I played Peanut, and had lots of fun. Mississipi River Race and Evolution Revolution are my favorites.

Mississippi river race is my absolute favorite. I know about all the songs on there. It is actually a blast to listen to. and I think that you are right karen, the puns are especially funny now. Squirrel, does your church have a Patch the pirate program?

No. The play was done at my school (part of the church), and a Patch the Pirate play was performed every spring. I think they just bought the books. We've long since moved on to another school/church since then.

Oh, wow! We used to listen to them ALL OF THE TIME! And Majesty Music's music too. But, pretty soon we grew out of them. We have them all in a box somewhere....

Laura Ingalls and I used to listen all the time to Patch.

In first grade our teacher played them for us a lot.

I think it had a good way of putting songs into the story. Kinda like a musical, but not. What is your favorite song(s)?

looking back, most of the songs were rather annoying (in my humble opinion). My brother used to fast-forward through them so he could hear the story.

There were "silly songs" and "serious songs." Some of the really silly ones I didn't care for, but I liked most of the songs. I still ask for the newest Patch CD every Christmas...this year it's "The Villian of Venice." I enjoyed the last one, "Kashmir Kid," it had several good songs on it, That's What Friends are For, Moment of Time, and others.

*wanders off singing, "Hippocritter, hippocritter! You say one thing and do the oppositter...."*

Hippocritter reminds me... Some of my cousins and I were going to sing that song for the talent show at camp back in June, but the talent show ended up being moved, and we decided not to.

I like pretty much all of the songs, including the silly ones, but I don't sing the silly songs much because they're not fun to sing alone.

Wow....that's like, old! we used to have 2 (Giant Killer and Misterslippi River Race or whatever it's called *yeesssss, bossssssssssssssssssss*) but, we lost Giant Killer...we still listen to the other one though sometimes. We have the Giant Killer music book though....wow *smiles* childhood memories!

I loooove Patch the Pirate! I grew up with them, I think we wore a lot of our tapes out.

I LOVED Patch the Pirate. Those tapes were amazing.

Welcome to the ToO aero!

We still have some of them, not exactly sure where....

I loved Patch the Pirate! In fact, I found our old tapes this summer, and listened to them. We have Evolution Revolution, Misterslippi River Race, and the one in Australia...can't remember what it's called.

I have two of them

Ron Hamilton came to a previous church I attended many years ago. I had him sign my "Cherish The Moment" cd. I bought my daughter one of the Treasure Packs (it has several tapes in one volume).
