Recently, my friend Laramie Williams approached me for advice on how to follow his dreams. While I wouldn’t consider myself the highest authority in the land, this got me thinking and I wanted to tell my story about how I went about pursuing and eventually achieving my dreams. I have always wanted to be a musician, […]

When it comes to travelling with Celtic Invasion Vacations, as well as travelling solo or “Just because,” sometimes it’s worth taking out traveler’s insurance. Plans will cover all sorts of things, from medical emergencies to flight cancellations to baggage loss. Figuring out what the best option is can be a pain, thanks to all of […]
I’m a big fan of using email to promote my music. I’m not great it, but I recognize it’s value and do my best to offer value to you with each of my newsletters. Nevertheless, Kat asked me recently what mailing lists I have, so she could better understand what she was subscribed to. So I […]
I’ve said it before. I’m not very good at social media. Part of the problem is that it just overwhelms me. So I’m trying to put all of my social media outlets into semi-neat boxes online so that I can actually try and better manage them. Here’s where I list and define them so far: […]
It’s time to fly! Even though just a few hours after leaving, the absence of my family is keenly felt – but hopefully they’ll be able to come with me on a future Celtic Invasion! Travel Tips: When adding Luggage Tags, always put one on the outside, and one on the inside! They’re flimsy, and […]

My Hobbit Drinking Songs show was a success and I also take a look at Mumford & Sons’ new […]
In 2003 and 2004, I had a bunch of songs I had written and recorded that were not yet part of the Brobdingnagian Bards. They grabbed a different side of my music from the more comedic stuff that the Bards were doing at the time. I also wanted a place to showcase my autoharp skills. […]
Between a busy spring schedule and the Baby Watch for Ms.Inara, schedules are getting a little hectic. When time is crunched, deciding what tasks to prioritize and what projects to execute becomes a more immediate question – with all of this in mind, I’d love feedback on what you think about my proposed future podcast […]
One of the bands I enjoy is Mumford & Sons. A while back I posted an article saying that their latest album Babel just sounded like a B-Side to Sign No More. My blog said there was nothing new, and the songs were less memorable. I can’t find the article. I guess I must’ve deleted it when I fell […]
