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 […]

By Amazing Grace, Bards Collaboration
A new single is released tomorrow. It’s called “By Amazing Grace“. This is a Brobdingnagian Bards collaboration with my friend and long-time bandmate, Andrew McKee, The Irish Bard. “By Amazing Grace” was written for the In the ‘Verse podcast I made with Mikey Mason. We watched episodes of Firefly. Then we each wrote a brand […]
Celtfather: The Louder, The Better… Or Is It?
Is louder, better? This is Celtfather Music & Travel show #282. I booked a farmer’s market gig. The booker told me I would need to play completely unplugged. Past musicians played too loudly. They disrupted the sales of the vendors. Those musicians won’t be coming back. And now I might not get to play amplified. […]
