Has a juicy midrange
Roger Glover, then recently ex-Deep Purple, composed Butterfly Ball... Ronnie James Dio was a fairly prominent singer in it, so I sez Dio.
Was indeed Ronnie. I think this unwittingly led me to my love of metal, many years later. Reckon I first heard it mid-late 70’s when we still only had b/w tv and the one channel.Roger Glover, then recently ex-Deep Purple, composed Butterfly Ball...

I wanna say Rainbow, but seems too obvious. Or Elf?If I worded my answer differently I probably could have milked out at least two other questions.... Oh well.
Related... Despite being fired from Deep Purple by Ritchie Blackmore in 1973, Roger Glover was invited, possibly as some sort of apology, by the same Blackmore to join which post/intermediary Purple band, which at times also included R J Dio and current DP keyboard whizz Don Airey?
Rainbow be the one. Go.I wanna say Rainbow, but seems too obvious. Or Elf?
Yes, pipped at the post.I see I am too late to the party.
Change of topic.That be the one. Go.
What’s my question, chopped liver?Alrighty.
Let’s get this thing rolling again. I’ve got a lot of sitting around to do today.
Where was the fabled pirate colony of Libertalia thought to be located?
There’s been no action on it at all and it’s been over 12 hours. Do better next time.What’s my question, chopped liver?

Sooo very close. Swaziland (or Eswatini as it’s called now) is landlocked though so no good for hardy seafarers. Mozambique is another good contender but sadly wrong.Africa I guess but where...
Under the horn, otherside, bottom? I recall there was a hotel named Libertalia but could be confused with Liberia. And that is too obvious.
Hmmm.
Needs to be near the trade route, would love to say Swaziland ( mate is a Swazi, could have been him) but that has a logistical issue. Mozambique?
Hence the logistical issue. Mate's father assisted the king to buy and sail a royal yacht back in the last century. He had some classic stories about the Swazi navy!Sooo very close.
