[Bonus Post] Jasper Coal – Album Review
This was originally posted on Celtic Music Magazine. I have to admit, when I went to high school in Homewood, Alabama, I had NO idea there was a Celtic presence in the Birmingham, AL area. Maybe there wasn’t in 19…mumblety mumble, or maybe I was a clueless and sheltered teenager (nah, couldn’t be that). But […]
[Spotlight Post] The Rogues – Hellbound Sleigh
This was originally posted on Celtic Music Magazine. When The Rogues’ Hellbound Sleigh came up for review I jumped at it – even though I’m generally a stickler for not listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. This, I thought would be a fun addition my Christmas music collection. I figured it would be weirdly irreverent […]

[Spotlight Post] Trinity River Whalers & Celtic Music Magazine
A couple of weeks ago, I agreed to work with Marc Gunn’s, Celtic Music Magazine reviewing music. It’s a non-paying gig, but I get access to music I wouldn’t normally. He also doesn’t mind cross-posting, so we’re going to test that out… IF you like this review, go check out the Celtic Music Magazine Website […]
[Spotlight Post] Pi Day, Veronica Mars, Marc Gunn
Okay, so it’s Friday. It’s Math Pun Friday – it’s March 14th… or, as we would write it here in the US, 3.14… or Pi Day. It’s a day in which anyone who enjoys math, puns, and/or any reason to eat pie is a happy, happy camper. I have on my Pumpkin Pi shirt from […]
