Best Irish & Celtic Music of 2022

There’s a new podcast online today. I’ll tell you more about it in a moment, after I share a postcard from Ballincollig Castle in County Cork, Ireland. There are just two more weeks until the CD Release of Selcouth. I can’t wait. I’m Really proud of the new CD. It has, like, all of my […]

Postcard: Mont Saint-Michel

Postcard: Mont Saint-Michel

The thing I remember most about Mont Saint-Michel was the steps. There are a LOT of them. Wear good shoes if you ever go. That said, Mont Saint-Michel left a lasting impression on me. I remember the spectacular views, people walking on the sand during low tide, and the many interesting shops. I wish I […]

Many, Many, Kind Thanks

Thank you, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This past week was crazy. My wife and I had our first child-free weekend celebrating her birthday. It was an almost perfect vacation. I’ll talk more about on it on Celtfather Music & Travel podcast next week. Thankfully, we are home with our girls. We had […]

Marc’s Musings: What A USELESS Degree!

I studied cultural geography in college. Well… to be honest, I fell into cultural geography. I bounced around a dozen different degrees and settled on that one.

Marc’s Musings: Connecting at Cons

With those giant conventions like Dragon Con and Gen Con, I forget how amazing small science fiction conventions are. I had such a great weekend at Multiverse this weekend here in Atlanta. No, I don’t have huge audiences or make killer sales. But it was much more personal than I usually experience at the big […]

Facebook went down today. As of this writing, it’s still not back up. So let me start by saying, THANK YOU for subscribing to my mailing list, reading my blog, and listening to my podcasts!

Dragon Con is this week. The Brobdingnagian Bards are back once again with lots of shows. Andrew McKee arrives on Thursday. We have a full schedule and a few new songs to practice to highlight the Another Faire to Remember EP that we are releasing at the convention. I still have a lot of preparation […]
