Folk Songs & Stories Flashback episode on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast #716. Subscribe now!

This is an off-week for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I was not planning to schedule any episodes here. But then I remembered that I have a whole bunch of Celtic music episodes that I play on our companion podcast Folk Songs & Stories. Those episodes vary greatly from shows where I talk about the songs I perform, interviews and occasionally, I have episodes like this, which are sort of like short versions of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, except sometimes I talk a little more about what’s going on with my music.

In this episode, we’re flashing back to 2010, the week before my first daughter was born. There are some links that are still available in the shownotes at on our website at celticmusicpodcast.com
