BOG OFF!

Andrew McKee, The Irish Bard has long sung “Bog Down in the Valley” aka “Rattlin' Bog” faster than any human I've ever known. That was until now. I challenged him to a Bog Off next Wednesday, May 27 at 7 PM EST. We're gonna have a concert followed by a rousing competition to sing Bog faster than the other to attain the Bog Champion title.

VIDEO: LOCH LOMOND

“Loch Lomond” tells the story of two of Bonnie Prince Charlie's men who were captured and left behind in Carlisle after the failed rising of 1745. One young soldier was to be executed, the other released. The Spirit of the dead soldier travelling by the ‘low road' would reach Scotland before his comrade, who would be struggling along the actual road over high, rugged country.

Watch Loch Lomond.

WILD ROVER…FOR CAT LOVERS

“Wild Kitty” was the first song from my wildly popular Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers series. This is a parody of the Irish folk song “Wild Rover“. It tells the story of a cat searching for food. Instead just finds himself with a drinking problem. You will never hear “Wild Rover” the same again!

Watch Wild Kitty.
