One of the bands I enjoy is Mumford & Sons. A while back I posted an article saying that their latest album Babel just sounded like a B-Side to Sign No More. My blog said there was nothing new, and the songs were less memorable. I can’t find the article. I guess I must’ve deleted it when I fell […]
I finally sat down and made a video review of my new Schatten AD-01 Autoharp Pickup. If you read my last post, you know I was a little nervous about using this. That’s because my entire autoharp sound was defined these last 15 years by Oscar Schmidt pickup. Unfortunately, one of mine died on me and […]
Some sobering news as we lost Leonard Nimoy, the legendary Spock from Star Trek last week. The St.Patrick’s Day Internet Music Festival is kicking off next week, I’m gearing up for Thursday’s album release, and we’ve hit the initial goal for the Kickstarter campaign! Finally, planning the Celtic Invasion Vacation, and some musing on the benefits […]
I finally made some decisions about upcoming albums for the year and what’s next as you’ll see in my latest Kickstarter–Dragons vs. Pirates. This album is a bit of vanity project.
