Several years ago, I started the Irish Songs & Lyrics website to help musicians like learn new songs by ear. The site features Irish song lyrics, chords, and streaming audio files so you can listen to the songs you want to learn. Unfortunately, the website stopped growing because we stopped recording. I decided to expand […]

Last Brobdingnagian Bards Tour of Ireland Ever!
I paid final bill for the Brobdingnagian Bards Tour of Ireland to Celtic Ways. Eight days in one of the most-beautiful countries on the planet. Due to the weak American dollar and lower than expected attendance, we are losing money, but it’s IRELAND. So I can’t complain too much. Tickets are all booked up. We […]
Harold and Kumar Escape from Dragons
Nothing like financial problems to motivate you to exceed. This weekend was ultra productive. Saturday, I spent the day mixing some old recordings for Going for Brogue, and album of Irish Pub Songs and Sea Shanties all sung with an accent. It was relatively quick mix since all the recording was pretty much done many, […]
Things to Do and a Poll for You
Last night, I went to see Voltaire perform at Elysium. As always, he put on a fantastic show, and his opening act Ego Likeness had a good sound too. I must say I love going to Elysium. It’s a very comfortable club for me, prolly cause I consider myself a Gothophile. I like the Goth […]
For Geniuses, Sliders Aren’t Very Smart

Admittedly, after a full run through, I don’t think I’ll watch it again, but for now, I enjoy it, except… when the Sliders are being stupid… which […]

Why Kilted For Her Pleasure?
I had this big discussion a while back about the whys and what fors of kilt wearing. I love my kilt. I love the colors, the comfort factor. The only downside really is my boots, of which I need a better replacement. While I love it, I also recognized that a large number of women […]
