Sometimes I feel like I have too many podcasts. I have published hundreds episodes since I started podcasting in 2005. You have so many to listen to. It’s kinda crazy. So I want to help you pick the best podcast(s) that I create so you can decide where to focus your time listening. The Pub […]

Cats or Dogs?
Cats rule, dogs drool! Hehe! Sorry. I love that line. 😉 Actually, I like dogs too. I grew up with them. I thought I was allergic to cats until about 2001. It turned out the opposite was true. I’ll be honest. I didn’t really want to have a cat. An ex-girlfriend did though. She talked […]
Top 20 Celtic Bands of 2019
I’m excited to share the most-popular Celtic bands and artists of 2019. These are my organic favorites. By that I mean, these are the artists I played the most on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast this year. I played them because I love their music. I love it so much, I keep playing their […]
Whatever You Do… Don’t Go Drinking with Hobbits!
One of my most-popular songs is called “Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits“. You might be surprised to learn. It is based on a true story. A decade after writing about the incident, I finally recorded a podcast to tell you the exactly what happened. Listen to the episode now. Pub Songs Podcast is where I […]
Want to See Ireland, Scotland or even Italy with Me?

2019 Promotion Plan… In Review
It was a good year. But you wouldn’t guess so considering the number of goals I failed to reach. I had poorly laid out plans. And bad goals. This year, I said I’d do less on social media, I’d blog more, and I would relaunch the Pub Songs Podcast. I did less on social at […]
Very Personal Christmas Confession
I have so many Christmas favorites I love to listen to during the holiday season. I don’t just listen to Celtic Christmas music. So years ago, I started a playlist called “Fun Christmas Songs for Kids & Families”. This is a very organic playlist. I started by loading all my favorite Christmas songs. I listened […]
It Means “Here’s to Your Good Health”!
I started playing Celtic music in 1999. I was not super in touch with my Celtic heritage when I began playing the music. My only connection to my culture was St Patrick’s Day on March 17th every year. (Also known as my birthday). I don’t speak Gaelic. But listen to my Irish & Celtic Music […]
How Venice Led to Celtic Heartstrings
I was at the Texas Renaissance Festival in 2001. Andrew called it the Venice faire because it rained a lot that season. It rained so much that I broke 21 strings in one weekend. My tips were forfeited that weekend. I didn’t make enough to cover those broken strings. Ever since then I’ve tried to […]
