Mike Wilhelm recorded this track at Richard Wahlberg Studio in San Francisco using old RCA ribbon mics for that 'authentic' sound

Found this track in my flash drive. From my Japan tour April/May '95. Don't remember exactly where or who the musicians are but I'm playing my Rickenbacker 450 12-string. Just a jam, but I started singing Two Trains Runnin' so I guess that's the title. - Mike Wilhelm

Flamin' Groovies track - A cover of an obscure Byrds tune that only appeared on the flip side of a 45 single. Ladyfriend was written by David Crosby. We opened our show at Le Pavillon de Paris with this song and it tore the crowd up.

The Derelict (Fifteen Men On A Dead Man's Chest) - (Traditional/arranged Wilhelm) NOTE: UPDATED VERSION - This is the song sung by the pirates in Robert Louis Stevenson's book, Treasure Island. A dead sailor's sea chest was generally up for grabs hence a derelict vessel was known as a 'dead man's chest'. - The San Francisco connection is that Stevenson was a resident of the city. In the 19th century, Pacific St. between Kearny St. and Montgomery St., known as 'the Barbary Coast', was the most lawless place in San Francisco. Hoodlums ruled. Sailors who patronized the bars and deadfalls often had chloral hydrate slipped into their drinks and woke up on a ship bound for Shanghai. - Mike Wilhelm - From: Back on the Barbary Coast Lead Vocal - Chris Wilson - Acoustic 12, back up vocal - Mike Wilhelm - Acoustic guitar, back up vocal - James Ferrell - Drums, back up vocal - Danny Mihm - The skipper lay with his head in gore, The scullion's axe his head had shore; The scullion, he was stabbed times four And there they lay and the soggy skies Dripped down in their upstaring eyes; In murk sunset and foul sunrise! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Chorus: Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Drink and the Devil had done for the rest, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! 'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead Or a gaping hole in a battered head And the scuppers glut of a rotting red And there they lay, ah damn their eyes! Looking up at Paradise, Their souls just gone the contrawise! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Repeat chorus A flimsy girl on a bunker cot With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot And the lace stif-dry in a purplish rot, Oh, was she wench or was she jade Or was she just a shuddering maid? She dared the knife and took the blade! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Repeat chorus We wrapped 'em all in a mainsail tight With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight And we heaved 'em over and out of sight With a yo heave ho and a fare ye well, A sullen plunge in a sullen swell, Ten fathoms down on the road to Hell! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
