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. […]

Celtic Love Songs Lyrics

Celtic Love for Valentine’s Day
There’s a blog I saw online that said Irish “love” songs were unromantic. That’s a bunch of hogwash by some cynical people who don’t know or appreciate Celtic music.
