I'm not always a bright person. I do a lot of things, because I want to, instead of whether I should or shouldn't. It's partially vanity. But then sometimes, I do things to marketing test. They can be expensive tests.

For instance, if you heard my latest Pub Songs Podcast, that I've released a few solo projects under different names, mostly notably 4 Irish Whiskey. This was a marketing test to promote music on iTunes using keywords. I duplicated that test with Irish Stout, which was comparatively much less profitable. Thus, Irish Stout is going bye-bye, very soon.

The next step is releasing a compilation of some of these Irish brogue songs, called Going for Brogue, under my own name. That's slated for the next couple o'months too, as I finish up several other CD projects. Meantime, let me thank everyone who picked up a copy of those albums, as well as Live Songs from an Irish Pub. I hope you enjoy the music for years to come and especially the collector's aspect of these CDs, as they will never be available again.
