Gen Con 2021

Gen Con 2021

Gen Con Indy is the gaming convention of gaming conventions. For 50 years, Gen Con Indy has set trends and broken records. I’m thrilled to back in Indianapolis for another great convention. I have several shows planned each evening. They are all sold out. But it is very possible that some folks won’t turn up […]

Selcouth (Album)

Selcouth (Album)

Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.” My wife found that word. She found a whole bunch of old words with cool meanings. But selcouth is the one that stuck out to me. It just seemed to fit me and my music. I play Celtic music with a […]

Marc’s Musings: The Selkie Life

Marc’s Musings: The Selkie Life

One of the things I love about Ireland and Scotland is the proximity to water. I love the ocean. I love swimming, diving, the sound of the crashing waves, the feel of the water. I love seafood. I love boats, the beach, and exploring tide pools. But I also love the stories. Enter this week’s […]

Farewell Classic Song Henge

In 2006, I started Song Henge as a way to pay the bills of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. That service comes to an official end in December. This is a brief history of Song Henge. You could join Song Henge for $12-60 per year. Every month, I sent an email newsletter. In it […]

Marc’s Musings: Coffee with The Kickstarter

Marc’s Musings: Coffee with The Kickstarter

One the popular things to do in Austin during college was tubing. We could head down to San Marcos, climb into a tube, and leisurely drift down the river. I remember doing it only once during the 18 years I lived there. Yesterday, my family went Kayaking in a similar fashion. We headed up I-85 […]

Learning to Do Things Better

Learning to Do Things Better

I am loving blogging of recent. There’s something freeing about just being able to shoot the shite about things. It probably would be better if I just journaled privately. But there’s also something about learning to do it better. For marketing purposes. And so I blog. For the past few years, I preferred podcasting. That’s […]

Coffee with The Celtfather Returns with Season 9

Coffee with The Celtfather Returns with Season 9

Tomorrow is the big day. Coffee with the Celtfather. Season 9. Okay that sounds a bit more dramatic than it is. I started the show in 2017. Instead of the TV definition of seasons, I’m sensibly calling a “season” either Spring or Fall. Nevertheless, this is the 9th season. I’m getting better at doing these […]

Two Albums to Wrap Up This First Week of August

I have a busy week ahead. I made a decision that Friday is my deadline for three recording projects. That doesn’t even include the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast that’s coming. First up is Selcouth. I’m already 9 months behind on releasing this album. So it’s time wrap it up. I have PLENTY of songs […]
