Postcard: Cloghden More

It was just some rubble. A thousand year old rubble. How incredible that people could and would build such things. No wonder I was inspired to write an Irish tune from the remains of this spellbinding passage tomb.

Hobbit Drinking Songs Tomorrow Night!

Hobbit Drinking Songs Tomorrow Night!

Happy Hobbit Day! Today is September 22. That’s the day of Bilbo Baggins’ big birthday bash (I’m not abashed to say it). I’m celebrating by preparing for tomorrow’s internet concert–Hobbit Drinking Songs. I sometimes wonder if I should do this show more frequently than once a year, around Hobbit Day. But right now, that’s it. […]

What a Great Dragon Con 2021!

Dragon Con is an interesting creature. I’ve performed their for 19 years. It’s huge. It’s overwhelming. And I absolutely love it. But this year, I was concerned. It’s a pandemic year. The Delta variant of Covid-19 is still on the rise. Far too many people are still unvaccinated. As crazy as it sounds, many people […]

Dragon Con 2021 Is A Go!

Dragon Con 2021 Is A Go!

Dragon Con is just under a week away. I feel like I have barely mentioned a thing about it. That’s odd considering this is one of my routinely biggest shows of the year. There are lots of reason for this. First, let me say I am excited. Yes, apprehensive too. But super excited. The virtual […]

Marc’s Musings: Don’t Mean to BUG You

Marc’s Musings: Don’t Mean to BUG You

“I sure hope it doesn’t look I’m being completely annoyed by all the bugs.” That’s what I was thinking for this week’s Coffee with The Celtfather. I have worked from home since 2005. One of the highlights of doing so is that I can get out of the house every now and then. The problem […]

Spoiled

I went for a walk while Inara was at dance. A car honked their horn. Windows down, they asked where an Autozone was. Stupidly, I said I didn’t know. As they drove off, I shouted to them. My brain remembered I had a phone with GPS. As I looked up the store for them, it […]
