My live performances on the Pub Songs Podcast have gone over very well. I've only released two from my home studio, but I get a lot of emails from people who enjoyed them and want to hear more. So I listened to the shows again and picked the recordings that were made in those shows. They will make up the first in a series of albums from the Pub Songs Podcast.

This first album is called Folk Music with Delusions of Grandeur. Why the name? I played rock music in my early music career. I play folk music, but I'm a bit of a rocker at heart. I mean my new sideburns are kinda testimony of that. But being the realist, I know that currently folk music lacks the power and ability for mass appeal like rock music. But never the less, I dream of rocking out in an arena... with my autoharp and Celtic folk songs.

This album will feature some of the songs I recorded for my Pub Songs Podcast. Plus, I decided to add a few songs that are just hanging around waiting to be added to a CD. Here are some of the songs you may hear on the new CD:

1. Black Velvet Band
2. Jock Stuart (A Man Who Wears A Kilt Every Day)
3. Star of the County Down
4. The Virgin Diet
5. Lish Young Buy-A-Broom
6. Lord of the Pounce
7. Loch Tay
8. The Pleasant Peasant Pheasant Plucking Song
9. Eleanor Plunkett
10. I Saved The Planet Earth (Dr. Who)
11. Monkeys Over Mongolia
12. A Rabbit For Halloween (Bugs Bunny & Witch Hazel)
13. Won't You Come With Me
14. Happy Birthday, Dear Hobbit & Friend
15. Advertisement: PlagueAway, the Pestilence Potion
16. The Faire Is Over
