As promised, I launched a new video show this morning on YouTube. It's a short one. I sing one or two songs and sharing a bit of news.

Today, I sang "Star of the County Down" and "Reavers, Malcolm, Reavers".

I already see a few problems with the recording. I used my phone with the screen facing me so I can see comments. And of course, it posts the reverse video. Grr. I wish I knew a way to fix that in post. Oh well...

That means if I use my phone, I'll probably not be able to see any comments posted. Bummer...

Of course, only 4 people watched, but still...

The ultimate goal here is to have some awesome-looking evergreen video of specific songs. So I will have to focus on that one goal.

I will try to remember to share every Monday, but if you hit the notifications button, you should get notified about new shows.

And don't forget, this Wednesday, Coffee with The Celtfather returns to Facebook. It's a longer show. I hope you can make it.

Slainte!

STAR OF THE COUNTY DOWN

I love "Star of the County Down". I also love the arrangement in my album How America Saved Irish Music. While the driving bodhran is not there, not the wailing fiddle, it is a fun upbeat song by Cathal McGarvey (1866–1927) from Ramelton, County Donegal. You can read more about the history of the song here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_the_County_Down This marks the launch of a new live streaming video show on my YouTube channel that will come out every Monday as I'm able to pull it off. I will share a song I want you to hear, plus your song requests. What song would you like to hear next week? NEWS THIS WEEK Irish & Celtic Music Podcast features a "Back to School" episode.
