Postcard: Yuletide Love
It’s official. Thanksgiving is over. I’m allowed to openly declare my love for Christmas music. Now I’m digging through photos and listening to music. All while making playlists and podcasts. It’s truly the most-wonderful time of the year. Especially for cats… That’s Pompeii from last year. He was feeling the Christmas spirit in the wrapping […]
Many, Many, Kind Thanks
Thank you, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This past week was crazy. My wife and I had our first child-free weekend celebrating her birthday. It was an almost perfect vacation. I’ll talk more about on it on Celtfather Music & Travel podcast next week. Thankfully, we are home with our girls. We had […]
Marc’s Musings: What A USELESS Degree!
I studied cultural geography in college. Well… to be honest, I fell into cultural geography. I bounced around a dozen different degrees and settled on that one. Cultural geography sounds (to me) like a useless degree. What’s funny is that I actually USE my degree. I travel. I interact with different cultures. I was at […]
Postcard from Stone Mountain
I run every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. My running partner, Dan, suggested a different running path today…. straight up Stone Mountain. So after the kids got on the bus to school, we drove over to the park for our morning run. It was cold and windy from the start, 45 degrees. I wore a jacket, […]

Coffee Moves to Wednesdays in November
Coffee with The Celtfather moves to Wednesday at 11 AM Eastern starting on November 3. I hate to make this change. But it feels necessary. It seems like every Thursday SOMETHING comes up. Sometimes it’s because I have a gig and have to travel. Sometimes it’s because of family obligations. Thursday worked great when the […]
Celtic Musician Returns to Workforce After 50 years
I just saw the news that John Whelan was getting his first job since he became a full-time musician 50 years ago. I’ll be honest I do not know his music at all. I couldn’t tell you what albums he has or who he’s played with. But I know OF him. People in the Celtic […]
Marc’s Musings: Connecting at Cons
With those giant conventions like Dragon Con and Gen Con, I forget how amazing small science fiction conventions are. I had such a great weekend at Multiverse this weekend here in Atlanta. No, I don’t have huge audiences or make killer sales. But it was much more personal than I usually experience at the big […]
