An American singing Irish songs in a Scottish pub in Germany

The show last night at Pub Dudelsack went remarkably well, all things considered. My mom and I drove Rudesheim to play in this small “Scotish” pub. The bartenders were in kilts. None spoke English. So it made for some interesting communication as I tried to make my gig happen. Thirty minutes before the show, a […]

Free MP3 Love Songs – Now Available

I love giving away free MP3s. And what is more beautiful than giving away MP3 Love songs when you have a new CD? “A Tribute to Love” is officially available in February 2008. But that doesn’t mean I can’t give away free Love MP3s now! So that’s what I am doing. You can try out […]

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

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 […]
