We’re finally getting a wee bit o’momentum. The fundraising for Not Every Day Is St. Patrick’s Day broke $1200 when I logged on this morning. (that’s $800 with the old campaign and $400 that’s listed with the new) That puts us over 1/4 the way to the finish line. I want to THANK YOU SO […]
Listen to Arthur McBride
“Arthur McBride” is great anti-recruiting song from Ireland. The cat version is one of my favorites from Whiskers in the Jar. That one was written by Cedric of the Bedlam Bards. Both are brilliant. A couple of civilians meet some recruiters and show them how much they don’t want to be a part of the […]
Marc Gunn at Stone Mountain Highland Games 2012
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Stone Mountain Highland Games. Holy crap! That means it started when I was born. Hmmm. Wow! The Games are a long running tradition in the Atlanta, Georgia area. This year, I will join the other great Celtic music groups for a weekend of Celtic song, stories, competitions, […]
Feeling a Little Less Overwhelmed by Celtic Music
Isn’t it funny how one small change can make things a little more manageable? I recently made the decision to stop accepting CDs for review for the Celtic Music Magazine. Well, sorta… One of the first features outside of free MP3s that I added to the Celtic Music Magazine many years ago was CD reviews. […]
Announcing New CD Title–“Not Every Day Is St. Patrick’s Day”
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 […]
Listen to Nancy Whiskey to Support Celtic Lyrics
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 […]
Listen to “Drunken Sailor”, Freedom CD Update
“Drunken Sailor” was one of the early songs I learned in my music career. The Brobdingnagian Bards released our version back in 2001. But it was nearly a year earlier when I combined the song with the Scottish song, “Donald, Where’s Your Trousers“. It turns out that was a brilliant decision. If for no other […]

New Bonuses Added to My Fundraising Project
With 17 days to go, the fundraising for my Celtic Music Is Freedom album seems to have stalled at 11%. Is it a timing thing? A rewards thing? Or something else? Well, it turns out that’s okay because a few days ago, I got a copy of my performance at the California Autoharp Gathering on […]
