Celtfather Monthly: June 2019 (Patreon)

Greetings Gunn Runner

It's official. We are now residents of Atlanta, Georgia. Crazy. Because in two days, I fly to Europe for a couple weeks, including my Celtic Invasion of Star Wars. 

What can you expect to see and hear from this trip? Good question. I'm trying to figure how much I will be posting. Video is tough to do in Europe. I run into lots of bandwidth problems. I'm hoping my WiFi Candy hotspot will fix those issues. I'll let you know.

I plan to record lots of audio that will show up on Pub Songs Podcast. There will be lots of exclusive Gunn Runners-Only Stories from the Road podcasts on Patreon.

I'll have pictures. No clue what I will do with those yet. And of course more videos that will need editing. There's a lot that's coming, but I haven't strategically determined yet how to release it. So stay tuned.

There is a new episode of the Pub Songs Podcast. I talk about Tidying Up Your Social, A Mother's Confession and Celtic Punk. It's good 2-hour long show. Give it a listen. And please send your #PubSongs feedback.

I'm so happy I had a few guest hosts for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. The Gothard Sisters and 67 Music hosted a couple episodes in May. In June, I have Anne Roos doing a feature on Celtic Harps and a sea shanties episode from the Renaissance Festival Podcast.

I'm still having trouble keeping track of it all, but it's getting easier. And I'm ahead of schedule thanks to Mitchell Petersen who is editing some of these shows.

If you were waiting for the next In the 'Verse podcast, then the wait has been longer than you and I both planned. The show will come out in July. It took me a while to write music to my songs. But I love the final pieces!

Finally, we are less than a month away from the Brobdingnagian Bards Kickstarter. Subscribe to our newsletter and don't miss a thing!
