I haven't been as active this year in generating new content, but I feel that 2025 will be quite different! I have been amassing song and tune ideas for the past few years and now I got quite a pool to draw from. I have been doing some feng sui in the studio and optimizing my workflow to be more productive as well. Thank you for listening to my music on the various streaming apps, and I look forward to giving you new fresh music soon! I have included a snippet of the analytics data from Spotify for 2024. I am excited to see what next year will bring!

Today feels like the first day of the rest of my life! Things are getting in gear for the holidays, But make sure you put on your calendars that the Flowers of Edinburgh will be playing up at the Angry Scotsman on December 7th stating round 6:00pm! We will be playing various ditties and songs with our friends the Waxie Dargles! I don't know all the details, but I believe that there will be some pipers there as well.

I started recording another song just before New Year's, that makes two songs down on my new Celtic song album I’m working on. For one reason or another I haven’t recorded any vocal tracks before so this is a long time coming. Been staying up late & sleeping late. Good times! {{Kudos to my sister-in-law who came over for 'Music Mondays' during the pandemic.}}

This is very rough, but it will give you an idea of what I was playing around with in the studio the other day. Maybe something to be developed for an album?

A traditional song from my album "The Longest Night, A Winter Celebration." Available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon.mp3, CD Baby, and more. Funny trivia, when this song was first uploaded on iTunes, the title was censored, because somebody didn't realize that the title is referring to a rooster.
