Celtfather Monthly for December 2017 (Patreon)

Greetings Gunn Runners and Merry Christmas

I hope you had a wonderful November. And I want to thank you so very much for being a part of my family. Your kindness is appreciated. I have a lot of cool stuff to share with you for December 2017. 

I finished mailing almost all of the new Firefly CDs. If you have not received your copy, and you pre-ordered it, please email me. The album comes out March 6, 2018.

If you already have the album, I would love it if you would make a video using one of the songs. It can be as simple as family pictures or travel pictures set to a song. Or you can do an actual video of you singing. Or if you want to go crazy and make an actual music video, brilliant! 

I want to see your creations, your art. Please make something and share it. Because I want to watch it! 

Celtfather Music & Travel Podcast will feature an interview with Shannon Heaton of the Irish Music Stories Podcast. The show will come out after Christmas. 

On November 30, the one and only episode of the Celtic Christmas Podcast will be released. But I’ll also have Christmas episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast on December 21. 

Speaking of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, I'm super psyched to see that it will soon be added to Spotify's list of podcasts. It should be available there later in the month.

I’m also looking at recording a Winter Pub Songs episode of the Pub Songs Podcast. If you’re a patron, I’d love your feedback about that show. If you have a song request for that episode, post in the comments below. 

I still want to release a couple Christmas songs this year. Kilted Kings recorded our own version of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”. I was planning to release that this year, but time has gotten away from me. So here’s hoping.

Rie Sheridan Rose sent me Celtic Christmas lyrics a year or two ago. I want to record that song too. But again. Time...

I’ve been trying to release a new video each and every month. Right now, I don’t have one scheduled for December. However… There is Coffee with the Celtfather. 

This is a new video show that I started on Facebook. I am aiming to do the show Monday, loosely around 9 AM. The duration of the show kind of depends on you. The more you interact and share, the longer I play. You can also give money through my Virtual Tip Jar.

If you were not on Facebook, I am trying to share many of these videos directly to my YouTube channel. 

Have you seen my Celtic Heartstrings? I plan to post several in my Bandcamp store this week. They are made from the broken strings of my heart… I mean autoharp. You can get them as a necklace or this month, you can get one as a Christmas ornament. Check out the picture on the website. 

I’m also pleased to officially release Celtfather Classics. This USB features all of my music from 1995 2009. That includes 13 albums. You also get the very first recording that I ever made. OK, it’s not good, but… you can own it!

Finally I want to thank all of my amazing Patrons in the Gunn Runners Club.  Special thanks to my newest patrons in November: Kimber Grey, Jan DiMasi, and LauraMay Sorkin who increased her already generous monthly pledge.

If you love my music and want to help me keep making it, please join the Gunn Runners Club.

Thank you once again for listening and sharing my music.
