No Ren Faire gets it right. At least none that I’ve been to. . I’ve performed at maybe a couple dozen Renaissance festivals over the years. I have yet to find one that had a decent music stage. I’m not sure why. But the Mid-South Renaissance Faire did. . I’m still trying to wrap my […]

Marketing Is Easy, Selling… Not So Much
Marketing is easy for me. Selling is not. I don’t like to sell. Yes, I have full faith in the quality of my music. I even “market” most of 23 albums with a theme. That makes them easier to sell. Like Firefly? Get these CDs and songbook. Drinking songs? Do you want Irish or Sci […]
Troll Friends
I never imagined I’d have troll friends. But I guess it’s better than having friends troll me. I’m so impressed with these two. They have a YouTube show, coloring books, partnerships with local swamps (seriously) and are writing their own books as well. Look ‘em up. Smart trolls!

I love my band because it gives me a place to explore traditional Celtic music more. All year long, I play mostly Sci Fi Drinking Songs. Those are my most-popular songs. […]
