Tightening Up for the Holidays

Even though I’m in Germany doesn’t mean I haven’t done a bunch of work. Mind you, I haven’t done my durn podcasts. GOT to do that tomorrow. But I did make a few updates on some websites, including some Celtic wedding websites. I also added new lyrics to my Irish Songs & Lyrics website. That’s […]

Two Germany Gigs Booked

Alrighty, I think I’m all packed and ready to go… or as ready as I’ll ever be. I finally found a way to pack my recording gear. Not sure it’s the best way to do it, but I’ll hope the airline doesn’t just toss the duffle around. Handle with care, please. Ok. Took out that […]

Celtic Knot Autoharp String Pendant Survey

Well with all the strings I break, especially at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival this year. I must’ve gone through 20-30 strings. So when I met a woman at MiddleFaire who could take one string and convert them into a Celtic knot, I knew I had to make more of these. So the question is open. […]

Pirate Music on iTunes

My friend Jack, who you may know as “Captain Black Jack” Murphy just released his new CD “Pogue Mahone Means Kiss My Arse”. The CD is now on iTunes. His album was released on my label, Mage Records.

Rediscovering My Musical Heritage

I was not raised on Celtic music. I heard a little bit of bagpipes growing up when my dad took me to some Highland Games like those at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. But that was about it. When I was a kid, my dad’s recreation involved playing folk music in the folk scene of […]

New Pirate Music

I just got word that my friend Jack Murphy just released his CD, “Pogue Mahone Means Kiss My Arse“. It’s a fun CD. A bit bawdy in places, but a lot of fun. And I helped him out a wee bit on the recording. Craig of Farrington now has a couple new CDs on CD […]

Faire Ends, Visiting New Orelans, Bards in Ireland

Another weekend of faire is done. I’m not sure what to think. On the one hand, just one more weekend to go. On the other, after this I’m off to Germany for a much needed break. Looks like gigs won’t happen, so instead I’m thinking I’m gonna spend a lot of time recording. I have […]

Germany Gig Update

As you may know, I’m going to Germany in December to visit some family. I was (and am still) looking for gigs in or not to far from Baumholder, Germany. Following one suggestion, I found a pub in NW Germany that made an offer, but unfortunately, the date won’t work well for me. I am […]
