Here’s some of the guidelines Ande Rasmussen follows when he is writing lyrics: 1) there are no rules, there’s only tools, you’ll find exceptions to everything below, but it’s generally good to stick with them, unless you have a really good reason not to 2) Genuine Idea Is the idea worthy of becoming a song?

Listen to “A Tribute to Love”
Although I’m just now doing the CD Release for Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover’s Companion, I am already working on my next CD, A Tribute to Love. The album is nearly complete. There are a few tweaks I want to make, but right now, you can listen and enjoy the album for free, right […]
We Have Totes and Tees!
I forget when we first released this t-shirt. I guess it was in 2003 maybe? Or was it 2004? Whenever it was the T-shirt design was created by Nikki O’Shea of Dragonpress Graphics. We met Nikki several years ago at I-Con, a Sci Fi Convention on Long Island. We loved her work and asked if […]
I Believe in Love
I’ve been having a theological discussion recently with a friend recently. She sounds disenchanted with church and consequently no longer believes in God. What I find frustrating is not that she doesn’t believe, because everyone must make their own decision about their faith. What is frustrating is the “Christians” who kill our faith. Yes, I […]
NEW SONG – “Stardust Serenade” (Stardust movie)
While I may not be getting many podcasts and such done, I sure am recording a lot of music. Sunday, I was inspired to write a song and after watching Stardust I came up with the name Stardust Serenade”. It is a song based on the idea of seeking love across a wall and finding […]
Want to Hear Bards or Cat Lovers Live! Boston, East Coast, Mid-West?
Last night, I was brainstorming the idea of visiting a friend up in Boston. As we were talking the idea came up to do a house concert while I was there. Then they asked if Andrew might join me up there. The tough thing about bring Andrew is the cost. Since I’m going for vacation […]
Make Your Own Internet Radio Station
Recently, I’ve been spending time at SoundClick.com. This is the website where we sell digital downloads of our music in a nice DRM-free manner. It was the replacement to MP3.com, and it seems to be growing as such. When I first found them, you could just host music there. But now, now you can buy […]
You Can Help Me Raise Money for My Next Cat CD
“To Love Is Human, To Purr Divine” I love my kitties with a passion. Working at home, I spend a lot of time with them, and they spend a lot of time with me. In fact, in February 2006, I caught them napping together, paws tossed over one another taking a simple cat nap. They […]
Free Music Downloads Cleaning
I was checking links today and realized I had a LOT of dead links on my Celtic Songs & Folk Music Downloads. It’s a popular page on the search engines for “Celtic songs”, and well, “folk music downloads”. So I just finished cleaning that page up. I think it’ll be easier to access in the […]
T’was a Grand CD Release Party!
Todays show at Things Celtic went well. There was a nice-sized turnout. There seem to be more and more people showing up at these shows. One day, I’d like to do a nice evening show somewhere, maybe even longer than the typical hour-long show that I do at Things Celtic, too. Maybe for my next […]
