I love spring. The cool, yet warming weather. I love the glorious flowers and budding trees. But boy do I hate the allergies! I had a great time in Texas, but it’s taken all week for my voice to mostly return from the trip. What a great trip. I should share pictures of my shows at […]

A Random Bit of Life WITHOUT an Algorithm
Do you know what I miss? I miss the early days of the internet when an algorithm didn’t tell me what to look at. It’s not because back then I learned SEO and charted really well on Google. It’s because when I went looking for Celtic music on Google, I found some interesting websites. Not […]
Is This a Better, Easy Video Idea for Musicians?
I want to release better videos for my YouTube channel. The problem is I’m not a great videographer. I’m also not a great editor. But I enjoy making the videos. I’ve come to the conclusion that my Livestreams are not getting me anywhere. So I’m gonna pull them from the channel. Make them unlisted. Or […]
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Chicago Video)

The show’s been publicly available for 10 seasons. However, it’s time for a change. I started the show on Facebook. I hoped their algorithm […]

I love this performance of “Mingulay Boat Song”. What do you think?
Pub Stories Is Changing… Again?
Another big change is coming to the Pub Songs & Stories. First, I love the new format. I was still fine tuning it. Here’s what I love about it. I love that it has manageable seasons. I love that I share one of my stories. I love that I also share a story from a […]
The Musician Horcrux
Owning a cd is like owning a piece of my soul. So I guess you could say… I created a horcrux. But don’t worry. This is not the dark magic that Voldemort used in Harry Potter. In fact, it used to be far more common than it is today in this world of streaming music. […]
