I just noticed that the interview I did with the Celtic Indy Podcast is now online–Episode 8 Interview With Marc Gunn. The interview was done at PandoraCon when Todd and I were in Cincinnati. There’s a lot of good music to listen too as well.
Last Chance to Order My Firefly T-Shirt
I owe some Gunn Runners who sponsored Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion some t-shirts. So I have to print one more order of Monahan’s Mudder’s Milk shirts. Then that design will be gone for ever! On the happy side, you will save 20% when you order shirts by this Friday, December 6, 2013.
How to Rate Music – My Rating System
A while back, I posted my rating system on an episode of the Pub Songs Podcast. I’m rather proud of it and like how it works. But I realize I didn’t have a written account. So here goes. First, I should point out that this system is geared towards my iTunes playlist. However, it works […]
Crowdfunding: The Biggest Challenge and Fear

Scottish Songs and Burns Supper
I woke up this morning and realized we are just five days away from St. Andrew’s Day. That’s the Scottish version of St. Patrick’s Day. It is celebrated on November 30th, usually with a big feast. I’ll be honest, I’m not super familiar with the holiday outside of what I read about it on Wikipedia. […]
Wanted: Celtic Christmas Song Lyrics for Kids
I drove Kenzie to daycare this morning. We listened to Christmas songs for kids on Spotify. Yesterday, I listened to Celtic Christmas music on Spotify. I was a bit disappointed with the “Celtic Christmas” selections on Spotify. I really think I need to pursue a new theme for the holidays. It seems to me that […]

Thousands of people subscribed to my newsletter. I was one of the top music marketers online. The website is still up and now rebranded towards solo and duo musicians […]
