Content

Every day in April, I am recording a new vlog. My goal is to get super comfortable creating new videos. I'm using the #SSSVEDA challenge to try and better figure out this medium. 

Why?

Video is a very important part of music promotion. It adds a special story to a fun song to make it more engaging and memorable.

I know that that doesn't matter as much to you. You already have your own memories with songs I play. But for some, it can be an amazing tool to give a song more depth.

The challenge for my whole YouTube channel though was to figure out WHY I need to even vlog. I have the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast to share Celtic music, Geek Pub Songs to share geekier songs, and I have Celtfather Music & Travel to tell bigger stories about songs and albums, travel and important topics.

So what is purpose of a vlog? 

M.T. Noah helped me figure out what I should be doing with my vlog when she responded to my vlog question.

I want to grow my YouTube channel with visuals to help promote my music. As for the theme, it will be music videos, videos of me singing songs, and vlogs like this one.

This is sort of the perfect combination of Celtic and Sci Fi culture--

"Why Do Stormtroopers Wear Kilts?'

This is the type of content I want to create. It might be a fusion of Celtic and Sci Fi. It might be a short story or visual to share more about a song like Carol asked about my own cats.

It will vary.

When April is over, I won't be doing daily vlogs. But hopefully, I'll be filled with enough ideas to keep creating new vlogs as well as music videos that might inspire you.

If this does, let me know. Post a comment here or even better on YouTube. Share your own vlog ideas for me.

Thanks so much. Slainte!

Why Do Stormtroopers Wear Kilts?

You see an awful lot of Stormtroopers wearing kilts...at Renaissance Festivals, Celtic festivals, your local grocery store and even at science fiction conventions. But WHY? There were no kilts or Scots in Star Wars? Or were there? This video seeks to answer that question. If you have your own idea as to why stormtroopers wear kilts, post them in the comments below. If you love Star Wars, then you may also love the Jedi Drinking Song Prequel. It's from my album Sci Fi Drinking Songs. You can listen to it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jBaQTzrpsk If you like that, you may also like the Brobdingnagian Bards performance of "Jedi Drinking Song". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZReHi-7yRM And keep an eye on the Brobdingnagian Bards. We're adding another song to the trilogy. "Mickey's Jedi Drinking Song" will be released on our patreon.com/thebards page in the months to come.
