If there’s one thing I hate about the cultural stereotype of the Celts, it’s alcoholism. I know this is ironic or even hypocritical considering half my album titles are about “drinking songs”. I’ve written more than my fair share of drinking songs to fit that theme too. Yet, as much as I use that term, it’s […]
Are You Still Buying CDs? Or Have You Gone Digital?
Over a year ago, I wrote a blog extolling the virtues of CDs and how awesome they are. The problem is that I don’t mess with CDs much any more. I take them. I rip them. I file them. That’s the last I see of the physical album. Yet when I go to a show and find a […]

“…the true spirit of Celtic music today and of Christmas…”
Another glowing review of A Celtic Christmas came into today. This one from Rhetta at Blogcritics.
