Celtfather #251: Anthems, Pledges, Change and Seth Godin

My music, my life, I am a product of change. I buck traditions in favor of trying something new. I am both proud and ashamed of how I have reacted to change in my life. Seth Godin is one of the foremost thinkers of our era. He is a trendsetter a ruckus maker. He inspires […]

Old Tube Record Player

Old Tube Record Player

My mom had an old tube record player and a few dozen 45s from Columbia House. Those records formed my love of music. I listened for hours on end. It’s how I fell in love with The Everly Brothers, Kingston Trio, Bobby Darin, The Coasters, David Seville, and of course, my idol, Elvis Presley. I […]

My First Election

My First Election

The first election I voted in was in 1992. We had 12 years of Republicans, I thought it was time for a change. I voted for Ross Perot. He lost. It’s disheartening when you put your heart into a candidate, and they lose. It sucks. I was disappointed and disillusioned. I didn’t vote in the […]

They finally released their album Loch Ness Monster for digital distribution. Hooray… for you! You have to hear their song “Flupandemic”. It’s hilarious. It’s truly a happy song of death. In fact, I tried getting […]

Storyteller Songs of Scotland

Storyteller Songs of Scotland

Ed Miller as a new CD. I am over the moon in excitement. I’m trying to figure out what it is about Ed’s music that I love so much. Certainly he has a fantastic voice. He has a great marketing angle and brand – songs of Scotland, new and old. I think the main reason […]

What a Hero Truly Is

What a Hero Truly Is

Christopher Reeves’ portrayal of Superman showed me what a hero truly is. It’s about strength, through kindness. This is a quality I try to lovingly embrace, as both a father and a person. Kindness. Tonight, I stepped into my phone booth. I donned my tights and became Superman. I escorted Supergirl and Wonder Woman from […]
