Fun Shows at OKRF
Last weekend of the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival. It was much more fun for me than previous weekends. I’m not sure if that is because of some acupuncture herbs, it was the last, or if I finally adapted to the heat and humidity that was still present this weekend, but that didn’t overheat me for the […]
Celtic Music Promotions
I just published Show #50 of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. It got me thinking about the PodCastAwards. These are people’s choice awards, meaning you can vote for the podcast when it starts up on July 1st and starts accepting nominations.

Haunted by the Hiccups of Hawaii
Ever since I remembered my flying dream, I’ve had a bunch of other dreams fly through my mind. Most recently is Hawaii. My parents moved there while I was in college in the early 90s. So I had a great place to visit during my semester breaks–Hawaii or Italy. Yeah, I suffered. Not. However, I […]

I’d love your feedback. The only suggestion I’ve heard is beefer choruses, meaning more people in the […]

First Weekend of Oklahoma Renaissance Festival
I am home lounged in front of the TV watching Music & Lyrics. Tiziano climbed up onto the couch, circled and plopped down leaning against me to hinder my ability to refill my bourbon. Torre is crouched quietly on the other side of the couch. I love coming home. My weekend at the Oklahoma Renaissance […]
Stuff on My Cat
This is too cool! I got several posts from people who saw a picture of my CD, Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers on Stuff On My Cat. That’s a beautiful thing. I’d love to see more pics of people with my solo CDs, T-Shirts, Celtic Cat Wooden Mug, whatever. If you have any fun […]
The Clothes Make the Man (or Woman)
In 2003 or so, I published an eBook called “Ten Tips on How to Bring the Fans Back Time and Time Again”. Today, I got my first criticism of it. Their complaint was that I sounded more like a politician than a musician. I’m used to criticism when it comes to my music marketing tips. […]
