With my new St. Patrick's Day song recorded for TheFump.com (you'll have to subscribe to that podcast get the new song for free, I'm not ready to start recording “Happy Songs of Death”. I was trying to decide how in depth to get with this recording when I bury myself in my home studio tomorrow. I decided I would play it as organic as everything else I do.

So instead of worrying whether it'll be done by March, I'm preparing a new live CD that was recorded at the Cactus Cafe for my “Whiskers in the Jar” CD release party. I've been slowly editing it for months. Now that my Irish & Celtic Music Podcast compilation has all of the tracks picked and approved and a cover coming soon, I will finishing mastering the new live CD when at the end of the week after I make a huge dent in my “Happy Songs of Death”. I love it when a plan comes together.

This Week:
