All we had aboard the ship that morning was one Annapolis graduate and three reserves.

The gunner's mate came up and started breaking the locks on the ammunition. Everything was locked up for fear that someone might go in there with a cigarette or something.

I was standing on the deck of the USS Blue, a destroyer. We were all alone out there at this buoy, tied up.

I would love to do a musical!

The idea is that instead of going to an online retail site ... and buying a physical CD and having it shipped to you, you actually can buy the song and download the song to your computer hard drive.

In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining.

From out of pain, beauty.
