Steve recorded "Admiral Benbow" years ago on his album of the same name. It's a terrific album, and I've been an ardent Benbow fan since I first heard it in 1963 or thereabouts.

Many good wishes for a speedy recovery, Steve!

Slight (light) error there. It shopuld be:

I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd,
I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd,
I saw Molly in the crowd, and I hollered right out loud
"Now Molly, ain't you proud, ain't you proud,
Now Molly, ain't you proud, ain't you proud."

One-legged? No way - two stumps, and undefeated.

Brave Benbow

Brave Benbow lost his legs by chain shot
By chain shot,
Brave Benbow lost his legs by chain shot.
Brave Benbow lost his legs
And all on his stumps he begs
Fight on, my English lads
'Tis our lot, 'tis our lot.


A good namesake to have.

I well remember a great version of Jack Hall Steve recorded, with pretty well the same tunme as Admirall Benbow. Unlike Sam Hall, it's not bitter, just defiant. With a verse I've not heard other people sing generally:

I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd,
I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd,
I saw Molly in the crowd, and I hollered out, right light
Now Molly, ain't you proud, ain't you proud,
Now Molly, ain't you proud, ain't you proud.

"Twas Reuben and Benbow
Fought the French, fought the French.
Twas Reuben and Benbow fought the French.
Oh the ship rocked up and down
While the bullets whizzing 'round
And the enemy falling down.
There they lay; there they lay"

Definitely an Admiral...of the one legged variety. Steve will need both of his to walk out of the hospital.

Candle and a prayer from Southern Maine.

I love his name; it sounds like something out of Tolkien. Wasn't there an "Admiral Benbows" character in some classic?

Lots of good vibes and thanks-givings still coming their way. Take a deep breath, Pete, and know that there is lots of support coming your way and to Steve, also.

Happy to send all the good thoughts I have to him. I've had two major heart surgeries and one minor heart surgery myself so I know that things can go wrong as well as right. In this day and age we often think of this stuff as routine and it never really is. We'll be here with a candle lit LF......and when he's better, send him round to the 'Cat.
