I was at the Texas Renaissance Festival in 2001. Andrew called it the Venice faire because it rained a lot that season. It rained so much that I broke 21 strings in one weekend. My tips were forfeited that weekend. I didn’t make enough to cover those broken strings. Ever since then I’ve tried to […]

Give a Tip with Venmo
My family and I were walking back from dinner in downtown Decatur on Saturday. A musician was strumming his guitar. He had a sign that read, “Venmo…” followed by his name. Wow! What a fantastic use of technology! It stuck out in particular because that morning I was at Pepper Place Farmer’s Market in Birmingham. […]
It’s A Distraction: Weekly Video and Blog Updates…
One of the reasons I podcast so regularly is to keep Gunn Runners informed about what I’m up to musically. That’s why the Pub Songs Podcast is running weekly for the next four weeks. It was one of my many tests to see what works and what doesn’t. So far my Pub Songs Podcast test […]
What You Missed on Today’s Live Stream
I went on FaceTime live this morning. It reminded me how much I miss Coffee with The Celtfather. But it also reminded me how difficult it is to put on a great show. This was not a great show. Now I went on anyway because we are just five days away from the end of […]
20th Anniversary Brobdingnagian Bards CD Is on Kickstarter

Limits
It’s tough setting limits. How high do you climb? How fast do you run? How long should you blog? It’s the last that made me stumble the past couple weeks. I made a plan to blog more. And I did. But one blog slowed me down. I was so pleased with a previous blog on […]

Puffins! I know. I know. There are many reasons to go to Skellig Michael. I labeled the Celtic Invasion Vacations this year, the Invasion of Star Wars because The Last Jedi was filmed there. And it was brilliant. To climb those steps. To see the spectacular views both up the mountains and off to sea. […]
