“A Celtic Christmas” Compilation Launched on Kickstarter
Every time I hold a Kickstarter, I gonna freak out. I get scared that I won’t meet my goals. Or I feel nervous about starting another Kickstarter, while I’m still trying to fulfill the first! With Christmas music, I have no choice. I actually meant to hold the Kickstarter in August, but time got […]
Scottish Songs of Awesome
I took a break from Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion for the past few days. I’m still waiting on parts for two songs. While I was waiting, I finally jumped back onto my Kickstarter for Keep the Celtic in Christmas, a compilation CD I started last year for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast (BTW, new show […]
Music Is Visual
Every morning, I drive my daughter to daycare with a playlist of music that I think she will like. She’s picked her favorites. One such song is Sesame Street filk of “1-2-3-4” by Feist.

A Celtic Music Festival of Thanks for Gunn Runners
I love Celtic music. However, I have no delusions. My music is not for the typical Celtic music fan. I won’t have a PBS special any time soon, wearing formal Scottish attire and having a puffed out chest while an orchestra backs my autoharp. At the end of this year, I will have two albums […]
14 Thoughts That Came to Me While Mixing My Scottish CD
Today’s post will consist of thoughts that occur to me as I mixdown tracks from Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion. I spent yesterday finishing up most of the songs. It’s sounding pretty durn awesome if I do say so myself. This is still my least favorite part of recording, the mixing and mastering. There just seem […]
Who’s In Your Community?
I wonder why it is that we find it so important to be a part of a community. It’s probably something instinctual… being part of the herd. Whatever the reason, I find myself daily looking at new ways to promote my own tribe, which is one part Celtic culture and the other part Geek. And […]
CelticCon: Where Would You Go to Attend the Con?
I’m still brainstorming the idea of CelticCon, a sci fi convention celebrating Celtic culture in the sci fi/fantasy world. Right now, I’m seriously thinking and planning on this, but I could use some help. Here’s what I have so far. The first event would either be next year in January (Burns Day? Hmm…) or early February […]
