Celtfather Monthly: December 2022

Nov 30, 2022 News, Newsletter

This year has flown by. Who could believe that Thanksgiving has already been and gone. Our was fantastic. It was a very relaxing afternoon basting a turkey on the grill. You can see the pic below.

With December coming, it's time to finish up the final podcasts and start planning the new year. I already made some plans that I posted in my What's Coming Up in 2023 blog post. I expect to update that post as I better define my goals for next year. I already have three things I want to add to it. But not right now.

Right now, I still have one more month to get through, one with Christmas and lots of music and the Celtic Top 20 and other Best Of lists that I hope to share.

There's a lot. I really appreciate you for being with my on my musical journey. Thank you!

We cook our turkey on a grill, basting it with beer, all afternoon long!

UPCOMING SHOWS

Marc and Inara singing together

I was never great at teaching Kenzie to sing and play music. But Inara's enthusiasm is inspiring. I'm teaching her guitar and we're starting to arrange a few of the songs we do together. I'm hopeful for more in 2023.
