I want to cut back on one of my podcasts. I’m having trouble deciding which. After chatting with a Gunn Runner, I might be a little closer to figuring it out. The two podcasts in question are the Pub Songs Podcast and Celtfather Music & Travel. The Pub Songs Podcast is the third podcast I […]
I love it when fans promote my music. But it’s not for the mercenary reason you’re thinking. It all goes back to a post I made a last month: “I wonder why am so confident playing one set with Kilted Kings but not when I’m playing solo?” Someone nailed it in the comments. It’s easier […]
Firefly and Christmas music…on tour!!! I don’t go on tour often. In fact, I’ve only been on three official “tours” during my 20+ years as a musician. The first two were short tours with the Brobdingnagian Bards. The third was a solo tour up to New York City from New Orleans. I confess I don’t […]
Whenever you post on social media, there is a chance you will encounter trolls. Hopefully, you ignore them and don’t become one. A troll is someone who belittles your opinions, insults you, and treats you with disrespect. Some trolls these days come from Russia. Most are your friends. It’s sad to think a friend would […]
I have a new social media marketing strategy…Less is more. I currently use two social media sites: Instagram and Facebook. I’m a terrible photographer. Instead of posting good pictures on Instagram, I InstaBlog…with a picture. If I’m in the mood, I share pics, videos, or Spotify songs in InstaStories. Facebook is my main social platform. […]
When someone asks me what I do, I typically say, “I play sci fi drinking songs. It’s Irish and Scottish songs inspired by science fiction and fantasy.” But after publishing my Celtfather podcast on “Anthems, Pledges, Change, and Seth Godin“, I realized that my music is actually something more. It’s something I’ve tried to figure […]
My mom had an old tube record player and a few dozen 45s from Columbia House. Those records formed my love of music. I listened for hours on end. It’s how I fell in love with The Everly Brothers, Kingston Trio, Bobby Darin, The Coasters, David Seville, and of course, my idol, Elvis Presley. I […]
The first election I voted in was in 1992. We had 12 years of Republicans, I thought it was time for a change. I voted for Ross Perot. He lost. It’s disheartening when you put your heart into a candidate, and they lose. It sucks. I was disappointed and disillusioned. I didn’t vote in the […]

Most indie musicians suffer from anonymity. People don’t talk about them or their music. Flying Fish Sailors are no exception. They finally released their album Loch Ness Monster for digital distribution. Hooray… for you! You have to hear their song “Flupandemic”. It’s hilarious. It’s truly a happy song of death. In fact, I tried getting […]
