Colonel Vipers Whipstick Band - I want To Mary A Lighthouse Keeper (Erica Eigen cover)

Live and Unplugged this is the 1st of a short set in the beer garden of the Golden Vine Hotel Autumn 2021.

Unhistorical fact... The 'lighthouse keeper' mentioned in this song was our very own Seaman Stains who secured work as a lighthouse keeper after a boating accident left him too psychologically altered to return to duty and yet too concerned for the safety of other sailors to leave the wild seas. A young Erica worked at beach-side lemonade stand Mr Stains frequented and she sung this song to him as she made his lemonade. It wasn't until many years later. many miles from the sea that he heard a recording of this song and told us this story. The band only started playing the tune to tease him but it steadily became a staple Viper song.
