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. […]
A hobbit, two magicians, and a werewolf walk into a pub… Okay. I’m bad at jokes. So you’ll have to make up and tell me the punch line. But I do have a lot to tell you about that’s happening this week. Let’s start with the hobbits. HOBBIT DRINKING SONGS TICKETS ON SALE The next […]
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.

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 […]
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 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 […]
