Free Celtic Geek Compilation. Get Your Copy!
Some bands give away 1-3 MP3s to promote their music. I’ve been doing this long enough to realize that just isn’t enough. If you really want to get to know someone’s music, you need a good album to listen to, freely, and on repeat. Then, you’ll fall in love with it. That’s my philosophy anyway. […]

CG011: Use the Force to Follow Your Bliss
When I was a kid, I believed I could use the Force from Star Wars. I never could move objects with my mind, but my idealistic belief I could accomplish anything. As Dr Emmett Brown said, “If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything”. I believe that wholeheartedly. It is one of the […]
