I got an email yesterday from someone asking about my show. They ask, “I’ve been enjoying your wide ranging podcasts. I’ve been a Celtic music fan for years. I have been listening to Celtic music for a long time. In fact since I discovered the Thistle & Shamrock a very long time ago. I happened […]

Sickness and Studio Updates
Getting sick sucks! And yet, I’m so good at it. Though this time, I think I caught a virus probably from reduced resistance from not enough sleep. At least I’m learning what causes my all too frequent illnesses. So today, I’m at home, sleeping and watching Anne of Green Gables, cuz I’m that kind of […]

Ed Miller at the Cactus Tonight
Scottish singer, Ed Miller, will be performing with Rich Brotherton at the Cactus Cafe at 8:30pm tonight. I’ll be there. Don’t think he has any new CDs, but he’s on the Celtic Music Podcast bunches. He puts on a great show!
Thinking Ahead in the Music Business
It’s funny being a musician… no, a businessman. Because in the real world, I don’t think about what’s coming up. Christmas is about the only holiday that makes me think forward in time. Things like Valentine’s Day, National Feral Cat Day, Robert Burns Birthday, or St. Patrick’s Day are usually last minute, “Oh look, it’s […]
Big Strong Cat

Cat CD Titles
I’ve been brainstorming CD titles for my next Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD. The one I had, More Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers, just seems a bit obvious but hokey. So I’ve gone back to the drawing board. I’m compiling names and asking for people to vote on their favorite names. The […]

I got notice that an interview I did a couple week’s back is now up at Bengal’s Corner.
Awesome Day in the Studio for the New Cat CD!
I spent all day in the studio today. In fact, I’m still here, typing as Rich lays a bass to “Kitty Martin”. The day was awesome. We laid the basic tracks for three songs: “Cuddles McGish” was the first song. We laid cittern, autoharp, bass, some guitar accents, and some raucous vocals. Just needs Cedric’s […]
Getting Over Feeling Overwhelmed
I love reading Seth Godin’s blog. Seth provides a lot of great insight on marketing. But it’s posts like today’s that really inspire me so much that I keep reading regularly when so many other blogs disappear from my mind. Someone asked if he gets tired of blogging every day. Seth responded about “Have to […]
