Vivid Dreams and Drums

I had a really vivid dream last night. I don’t quite it except it had to do with my music career. And what’s really weird is I still feel like reliving that dream… even though I can’t remember it. *shakes head* Ugh! Now I’m uploading “Gypsy Rover” to ReverbNation. I’m tossing the idea of moving […]

Renaissance Lasciviousness

A while back, I was looking at this painting in the National Gallery of Art in D.C.. It was a painting depicting an Venetian casino. The plaque read that these rooms were typical places for gambling and lasciviousness. Patrons would come in costume with masks to hide their nature in true Venetian style. The painting […]

Upcoming CD Notice

Later this summer or possibly in the Fall, I hope to record my next studio album with Rich Brotherton, who also produced Whiskers in the Jar: Irish Songs for Cat Lovers. The concept behind this album is the fusion of traditional Irish music with American folk and blues. The title–How Irish Music Saved Civilization. I’m […]

A Peak at Today

Busy day. I can barely remember it. I cleaned, did laundry, practiced, watched some movies, and I made biscotti… or attempted to. I’ll try them out tomorrow and see how good they taste. I also realized that one of the cats pissed on some pillows and such. Oh, and I published a Cat Drinking Tails […]

First Weekend of Oklahoma Renaissance Festival

I am home lounged in front of the TV watching Music & Lyrics. Tiziano climbed up onto the couch, circled and plopped down leaning against me to hinder my ability to refill my bourbon. Torre is crouched quietly on the other side of the couch. I love coming home. My weekend at the Oklahoma Renaissance […]

Foul-Mouthed Crypticism

Hmm? Did I let the cat out of the bag and shouldn’t have? A while back a published a CD. It served two goals. It was a test project and it was a CD to publish some bawdiness. After mentioning it for Going for Brogue and on the latest Renaissance Festival Podcast, I’ve seen a […]

Stuff on My Cat

This is too cool! I got several posts from people who saw a picture of my CD, Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers on Stuff On My Cat. That’s a beautiful thing. I’d love to see more pics of people with my solo CDs, T-Shirts, Celtic Cat Wooden Mug, whatever. If you have any fun […]

The Clothes Make the Man (or Woman)

In 2003 or so, I published an eBook called “Ten Tips on How to Bring the Fans Back Time and Time Again”. Today, I got my first criticism of it. Their complaint was that I sounded more like a politician than a musician. I’m used to criticism when it comes to my music marketing tips. […]

ReverbNation

I’m all packed and ready to go to Oklahoma Renaissance Festival. Going to pick up Andrew in a few minutes. Meanwhile, I’m passing time watching Buffy and doing some web updates. I added Going for Brogue to the CD special at Whiskers in the Jar ordering site. I also signed up for ReverbNation. A number […]
