Album Notes

Well, you’ve all held your breath long enough, and it’s time to come up for air plus another look at the wonderful world of caving as portrayed in song by the award-winning caving band “Dangerous Dick & the Duckbusters”!

Yes, the boys (and now a girl!) are back with one more collection of words and music that convey the essence of the caving world in a tongue-in-cheek format that will appeal to cavers and non-cavers alike! Check out these all-new titles:

Rockin’ at the Cavers’ Stomp (5:56)
- we wanted to leave our fans with one straight-ahead cavin’ party song, and here it is!!

Mama Don’t Allow (4:16)

The Ballad of Bastard Crawl (4:29)

The Drunken Caver (Tune traditional, new lyrics) (3:41)
- various ways of dealing with a not-uncommon problem!

Dilapidated Cavin’ Equipment Blues (David Knopf) (6:07)
- when the gear and the bank balance give up the ghost at the same time……………

Call Me When It Goes! (3:08)
- big thanks to Pat Shaw for allowing us to poke fun at his standard response to invitations to join a digging crew!!

Jingle Pot Road (3:52)
- if ever there was a road along which a nice deep pot should be located, this is it!!

The Call of the Karst (3:52)
- we’ve all heard it in our own ways. Here’s how Dick and the gang hear it in musical terms.

Captain Calcite and the Stalbusters (7:33)
- even Dangerous Dick & the Duckbusters have their antithesis. Captain Calcite & Co. fit the bill ……..

Speleo Secrets (3:42)

Cavers to the Core - finale (1:37)

Caving with Clinton (11:07)
- a musical caving trip played on a collection of antique flutes made
by our favorite Irish flute player and flute maker John Clinton (1809 - 1864).
The waiting cave, the hike in, the descent, the return to the surface and the
trip to the pub are all there, and at the end the cave waits once more ……

Dang You, Dangerous Dick!! (Steve Boehm) (2:42)
- the nicest compliment that we ever received! OK, Steve, we can take a hint………….!!
