We ha a great week at the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. We ate some delicious seafood, swam in the ocean, flew kites, and hunted wild sea shells. It was a blast, in case you couldn’t tell from all the fun pics on facebook. Tonight we dive home. Sunday, we are visited by Gwen’s mom […]

Listen to “An Irish Lullaby”
My mom used to sing this to me when I was a wee one. I thought I would be singing it to my own daughter. Now and then, I do. But I sing it more to my wife than to Kenzie. It was superseded by Matt McGinn’s “Miner’s Lullaby” aka “Coorie Doon”. Probably because it […]
Listen to Molly Malone
Ten songs are fully recorded for Not Every Day is St. Patrick’s Day. The latest mix is “Molly Malone”. I always loved this wee ghost story about the fishmonger from Dublin who bites it, but keeps doing her job long after she’s dead. This recording is not quite done. I still want to add Jamie Haeuser’s […]
Less Than Two Weeks Left to Sponsor Marc’s Next CD
There are just thirteen days left until the end of my fundraiser for Not Every Day Is St. Patrick’s Day. I still need to raise $1540 for this album. That will cover most of the fees and extras that go into creating this promotion. Plus, it’ll also help me finish paying off the CD printing […]
Listen to Kilkelly, Ireland
I’ve loved this song since I first heard it. It’s beautiful and touching. The story is actually based on actual letters found in the house of Peter Jones’ parents.

What a fun song! This is another one of those songs I first heard on that old Irish Drinking Songs cassette that featured over of the first Irish songs I ever learned. I’m thrilled to add it to Not Every Day Is St. Patrick’s Day! Less than $1700 to go to pay for the new […]
St Patrick’s Day CD Success Pauses to Help Owain Phyfe
First, let me let you know that Not Every Day Is St. Patrick’s Day is doing amazingly well. I have my first of two Executive Producers. Special thanks to Cary Whitney! The donations from the last few days pushed me MUCH closer. I can almost pay for the printing of the CD! Just $1780 to […]
Know the Rules Before You Break Them
I love the English language. I love writing. I’m pretty decent at grammar even if I’m a lousy editor. I know exactly when to use “they’re” vs. “their”. So if there is a mistake when I’m writing, it is usually intentional. If I use “because” at the beginning of a sentence I do it as […]
Musicians Paid for New CD!
Well, goal number one is done! This morning we topped $1400 on the my fundraiser for Not Every Day Is St. Patrick’s Day. That means I can now afford to pay Daniel Briggs for his musical skill which is gonna give the album SO much body. Now I just need to pay for the printing […]
