My Kickstarter campaign is a huge success. There are five days left in the campaign. I am $400 away from my second stretch goal. Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered this album and helped me hit the ball out of the park with this CD. Keep an eye open for TWO CDs of music from me in the future.

Today’s music is a departure from the norm. I found a bunch of brilliant comedy songs from Manic Mondays, a comedy podcast.

The ACMS is dedicated to supporting Celtic music in central Arkansas (and beyond). We have three missions:
1. To organize regular “sessions” where Celtic performers can gather to play, sing, or dance. Other people may simply attend to experience Celtic music in its most traditional setting, the seisun.
2. To arrange and promote concerts by well-known Celtic performers.
3. To announce and promote other events in the area, which would be of interest to fans of Celtic music.
