Visualize Whirled Peas… I mean World Peace
Do you ever see something, or hear something that reminds you of something else, and then you have to go see, hear or do that something else? Yesterday, I started posting the sad news that we’re not doing a Brobdingnagian Bards Vacation Tour of Ireland next year. Today, I started writing about it some more […]
Last Brobdingnagian Bards Tour of Ireland Ever!
I paid final bill for the Brobdingnagian Bards Tour of Ireland to Celtic Ways. Eight days in one of the most-beautiful countries on the planet. Due to the weak American dollar and lower than expected attendance, we are losing money, but it’s IRELAND. So I can’t complain too much. Tickets are all booked up. We […]
Why Kilted For Her Pleasure?
I had this big discussion a while back about the whys and what fors of kilt wearing. I love my kilt. I love the colors, the comfort factor. The only downside really is my boots, of which I need a better replacement. While I love it, I also recognized that a large number of women […]
Announcing a Blog Move Home
I do this now and then. I get tired of cross-posting to a dozen blog sites. In the past I’ve been a big user of livejournal and occasionally post blogs to myspace. But what I learned from MP3.com years ago is to keep it at home. You never know when other people’s websites will disappear. […]
You Can Go, Even If You Aren’t Booked
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard that statement from fans wanting us to show up at this or that venue. It’s sorta true. I *can* go to DragonCon, Scarborough Faire, Maryland Renaissance Festival, some Con in the mid-West, or whatever, but the problem is can I afford it? And the sad answer is […]
Celtic, But Human
I was flamed today. And I deserved it. A couple weeks ago, I made a post about Celtic Thunder. It’s a new… let’s say, show, because it’s not really a band. It’s a lot like Celtic Women, and I admit, I’m not a huge fan of theirs. So when I saw this latest… addition… to […]
Ren Fest Podcast MP3 Archives Return
RenSites.com, the web host for over 50 episodes of the Renaissance Festival Podcast, went down a couple months back. The site got really popular and it ran out of bandwidth. Since February, we’ve received email from people letting us know about the missing MP3s, and I kept forgetting to mention it in the show. Well, […]
WHISKERS IN THE JAR: IRISH SONGS FOR CAT LOVERS
Introducing Whiskers in the Jar: Irish Songs for Cat Lovers! If you love cats and Celtic music, you will love this latest offering from Marc Gunn & The Dubliners’ Tabby Cats. It all began with a phone call. I started meowing in the middle of “Wild Rover”. Then I wrote my first cat song. Irish […]
Giving Thanks with Compilation CDs that Benefit Non-Profits
Every three months, I do so something rather atypical for struggling, indie musicians, I give away a lot of money. Now I don’t do so lightly. It’s not like I can afford to dig into my pockets and pull out a ton of cash. I’m still struggling to make ends meat like the next musician. […]
