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 […]

We watched episodes of Firefly. Then we each wrote a brand […]
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. […]
