Today’s post will consist of thoughts that occur to me as I mixdown tracks from Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion. I spent yesterday finishing up most of the songs.

Who’s In Your Community?
I wonder why it is that we find it so important to be a part of a community. It’s probably something instinctual… being part of the herd. Whatever the reason, I find myself daily looking at new ways to promote my own tribe, which is one part Celtic culture and the other part Geek. And […]
Cool Moments at GenCon 2013, Podcast News and a Remastered CD from Brobdingnagian Bards
I had a wonderful time at GenCon this year. It was a bit odd and different for me though. I brought in L.T. Panzarella as a drummer for my shows. That was pretty cool. I like having others to play with. It adds a lot of body to the music. I was hoping that it […]
“Are you an indie musician?”
It’s a work day in Gunn Studios. The life of an indie musician, seems work is never done. It’s a wonderful challenge. It’s also great seeing up and coming musicians.

Looks like I never announced the success of my recent Kickstarter on my blog. The fundraiser was a huge success. I reached my second stretch goal which means not only will I release a second album, but it’ll have full production too. I haven’t determined an official release date yet for either CD. For Scottish […]
Pub Songs #117: Top 3 Tips for New Dads, plus Funny Music
I keep planning on doing a YouTube video on my three pieces of advice for new parents, but I’m still not totally comfortable with quickly and easily recording videos. There’s something that always keeps me from it. It’s my own lack of confidence. But with eight years of recording audio podcasts, I figured I’ll just […]

Will I Be Able to Fund TWO CDs?
I am less than $500 away from funding Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion on Kickstarter. I’m blown away with how quickly I’ve raised money for this album. I’ve done it faster than all three of my previous albums. I’ve never been one to count my chickens before they hatch, but this time I’ll make an […]
