Greetings fellow Browncoats! Back in May, I performed at FuMPFest. This is a funny music festival in Chicago. There, I met up with Mikey Mason. Have you heard of him? Maybe not, but you might’ve seen his music video “She Don’t Like Firefly“. It’s HI-larious! (side note: if you like Dungeons & Dragons, and you haven’t […]
Social media is so difficult for me. It’s just not natural. Maybe because socializing isn’t easy for me either. I’m much more comfortable behind a microphone or in a blog. Nevertheless, I’ve gotten better using my Facebook page. At the beginning of the week, I try to make list of news items I want to […]
I am a musician. That means I live off the generosity of others. Yes. I create music for you. But I don’t charge for it, per se. I create. I share it freely. If I am truly blessed, then you are kind enough to send a few dollars my way. This is kind of different […]
I love to travel, even if it’s filled with complications. I look at these as part of what makes a trip special and memorable. This year’s Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Skye in Scotland started with a flight delay…of six hours! Seriously. What causes a six hour delay?! Fortunately, I got the notice six […]
Facebook is the main place I promote the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast online. The show is posted directly to our fan page every week. I then add a link to your Facebook page (if it exists). Finally, I advertise the episode to people who might like the podcast. The sad news is that Facebook […]
Last night’s CeltfatherLive concert was another big win. I’m finally seeing some success with live video. I tried live video last year. Ultimately, I ditched it because I was not seeing any positive results. I learned a lot over the past year. So I want to share how I’m succeeding, what is working, and what has […]
It was “Train Job” that made me fall in love with Firefly. At the end of the episode, Mal tells Crow that he’s giving the money back to Niska for a unfinished job. Crow responds “Keep the money. Use it to buy a funeral. It doesn’t matter where you go or how far you fly. […]
Last year was a bad year for my internet concerts. Maybe I tried too many things. Maybe Concert Window was just failing to deliver. But my income from every show dropped lower and lower. That’s one of the reasons I decided to stop the concerts over the holidays. I needed time to rethink my strategy. […]
I’ve been hosting with Libsyn since I started podcasting, with one short, tragic period when I changed servers. I love them. They are always on top of the changes in the podcasting industry. One such change was in regards to stats. They now have a whole new site just for statistics as of January 4, […]
For years, I’ve watched the music business change. I try to keep up. But when it comes to how people listen, I haven’t. Streaming music is the future of the music industry. I tried Pandora, but it turns out they don’t want Celtic music from indie artists. I have countless stories of Celtic musicians being […]
