I am very pleased to announce that my next CD which I’ve previously promoted as “Celtic Music Is Freedom” is changing its name. It shall henceforth be known as Not Every Day Is St. Patrick’s Day. Let me start by saying, I love the old title. It was very appropriate for a number of reasons […]
Beware the whiskey! Good advice if there’s any truth to this old song also known as “Calton Weaver”. It has such a catchy chorus. I’ve wanted to record it for years. We are slowly making a dent in the budget for Celtic Music Is Freedom. We’re at $735 with 27 days to go. I need […]
“Drunken Sailor” was one of the early songs I learned in my music career. The Brobdingnagian Bards released our version back in 2001.

I don’t remember if I played this song in either the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast or the Pub Songs Podcast, but I love the way it turned out. I started playing “A Drop of Nelson’s Blood” about three years ago. It’s big fun song where you can rewrite the lyrics on a whim. I […]
Tomorrow is the big day. We’re looking to see what kind of fireworks are happening around Birmingham. Kenzie needs her first real taste of fireworks.
The modern music business is even more beholden to the fan. It’s sort of like return to the 1700s when rich patrons took care of the food housing for folks like Mozart, Bach and even Turlough O’Carolan, the great Irish harper.
