Are You Willing to Host a House Concert in 2013 in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, or North Florida?
I’m starting to book shows for 2013. January is always a light month for me. So I thought I’d see if anyone was interested in hosting a house concert. I need to stay fairly close to home. So I’m looking for house concerts in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee or North Florida. Basically, no more than eight […]
Knock on Wood, It’s nearly done!
I have my first rough master for Not Every Day Is St. Patrick’s Day! I almost can’t believe it. The album is nearly done. But then I shouldn’t say that until is… *knock,knock,knock on wood* Unless something changes, I’m looking at twenty tracks of traditional Irish and Scottish songs, most of which I have parodied […]
Meet Colin Grand-Adams, Scottish Singer
I had the pleasure of hanging out with Colin Grand-Adams at the Stone Mountain Highland Games this weekend. Colin is a Scottish singer from Oban, Scotland. He moved to the U.S. thirty years ago and has toured the Highland Games circuit ever since. I sat through one of his sets at the festival and loved […]
Pub Songs #109: Why Should You Care About the Facts?
Last time, I asked you to sign a petition for the Congressional Reform Act of 2012. The “Act” is full of falacies though. That made me realize why I so strongly encourage you to read the facts for yourself. Don’t take political rhetoric or shock jock ranting as fact. Find out what is true for […]

NEW: Hobbit Drinking Songs Songbook
I don’t remember for how many years I’ve wanted to have songbooks available. I started Celtic Lyrics page of the Brobdingnagian Bards in around 2000. I updated it with new songs for my Irish Song Lyrics website. There’s a reason I don’t have a songbook though. I don’t read sheet music well. I’m even worse […]

Celtic Christmas ain’t coming early this year
I decided to pull the breaks on my Celtic Christmas compilation cd, Keep the Celtic in Christmas. Almost all the tracks are approved. I have most of the WAV files to master the album. The only problem is promotion. I really feel like the album will benefit immensely from hiring a publicist. But to do […]
Two Holidays with Nothing in Common
I’m a bit swamped right now. So a quick update. I finished mixing all of the songs for Not Every Day Is St. Patrick’s Day. A big woohoo!!!! I’m really psyched about this because the album sounds great. It still needs mastering though. I’ll try to finish that this weekend. But with a song order […]
