Dragon Con is this week. The Brobdingnagian Bards are back once again with lots of shows. Andrew McKee arrives on Thursday. We have a full schedule and a few new songs to practice to highlight the Another Faire to Remember EP that we are releasing at the convention. I still have a lot of preparation […]
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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
