Post-St. Patrick’s Day Post
There’s a whole world of Celtic happenings out there on the internet, and sometimes you can find some pretty interesting stuff.

Next Up: Scottish Music
The votes are in for my poll of which CD should I record next. The winning CD was Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion. I’ve talked about that album for a few years now. I’m glad that you are interested in hearing it too. So I started planning my Kickstarter campaign. It will go live next month. […]
Was St Patrick’s Day a Promotion Success?
Is Google Analytics accurate? According to my stats this year, visits to my Irish & Celtic Music Podcast were at an all-time low, about 750 visitors. That’s down 100 from last year and down about 3000 from the year before that. Because last year’s numbers were down, I worked extra-hard this year to promote my […]
This started as a St. Patrick’s Day post… It’s early morning. I’ll Ramble instead…
Just five more days until the big day. It looks like I will not have any shows on St. Patrick’s Day proper, but my St. Patrick’s Day music preparations are going great.

Long-Haired Celtic Headbanger Loses Hair in Autoharp Accident
It was either 1996 or 1997 when I first decided to let my hair grow out. Even when it was a lot shorter people (and by people I mean women) seemed to like my hair. I decided to let it grow. In 1998, I quit my day job to become a musician. I failed miserably. […]
Marching On…
Like February itself, or winter in Texas, the shiny side of Valentine’s Day doesn’t quite last long enough. Other holidays have a full month to show their decorations, but as February winds to a close, we have only a hint of the memory of pink and red hearts—though February is American Heart Month. The decorations […]
Alabama Celtic Music
St. Patrick’s Day is rapidly approaching. I thought I’d spend this weekend in between shows prepping for the weeks to come, but alas, no time. I have lots of geeky Celtic music to play. Instead, I thought I’d share some of the Alabama Celtic music from my neck of the woods. I started a website […]
