Podcast appearances and mentions of beth patterson

In this session, we spoke with Beth Patterson, the Founder and Director of legal industry-focused tech consultancy, ESPconnect and an Adjunct Professor (Industry) at UTS Faculty of Law. Beth's career has the distinctive hallmark of being groundbreaking. The depth and breadth of her experience in tech and legaltech, in tech companies and law firms, as a consultant and educator, means she has a highly practical, global and unique perspective on where AI in the legal industry is going today. Our discussion began with context - placing generative AI in the broader AI continuum - and moved into its impact on the legal industry. We are all still experimenting (testing and investing) in every industry, legal included, and we should be because there are still major issues with the tech that need to be worked out. However, what was also clear from our chat is the need for us to engage with the tech NOW because it's not going away, not ever! Senior management in law firms know this (as do our clients) and they're driving the engagement with it, something that makes this tech journey different from others. What AI will we end up with at the end of this journey? Beth opines it will be a portfolio - a combination of enterprise-wide tech and point solutions, with commercial models driving the selection of what you use, for what and when. But, integration will also remain key; data governance critical; and capabilities to identify pain points, choose and use/apply fit-for-purpose tech increasingly part of every solution and BAU. The opportunities with AI in legal are plentiful for those who jump in – new roles, new responsibilities, new practice areas (or expanded), new revenue streams, increasingly refined LLMs that do more and do it better – it's a brave old and new world which we will embrace with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) or JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) – you'll definitely want to listen to or watch this session to see where you fall on the continuum!

Drop me an email. Put “Pub Story” in the show subject. Tell me your story. Maybe I'll ask you to record your story for the show. I'm planning only 10 episodes. So email me soon. And make sure you subscribe at PubSong.com. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! Because of Your kind and generous support, this show comes out nearly every week.

You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Eilene Marie Toppin Ording emailed a photo: "Here's what I do while listening to your podcast. I walk early in the morning and this day, the moon was still up and walked with me. My Scottish roots are very deep and we came to North America via Ireland. My mother's maiden name is McCamus which would equate to McKeamish or McHamish probably in Scottish. Be that as it may, we are part of Clan Gunn. One of my bucket list items is to visit the Clan Gunn Museum & Heritage Centre in Latheron, Scotland. Unfortunately, they are not open and I can't travel at the moment anyway. I'm enjoying your podcast. I've been sending the podcast link and some band links to my son in the Navy in Guam. We share an interest in all things Celtic or Gaelic. My favorite band is Gaelic Storm (they play the KC Irish Fest every Labor Day Weekend), but I recently fell in love with Niamh Parsons' voice. I first heard her and her partner on your podcast.?? Have a great day." So many people post on Facebook to say thanks and comment on our Facebook page. I thought I'd share some of those comments. Many from musicians. Bill Mullen posted: "Just listened to the podcast -  nice selection and enjoyed the show -  thanks Marc!" ReillyRocks Irish: "Totally awesome! We are recording new material set to be released in March. Can't wait to share it with you guys!" Vic Morris: "These wonderful women of The Bow Tides are former (and one current) members of the band Gaelic Storm. I have seen them all at GS concerts and they truly are talented!! My wife and I saw GS on Wednesday of this week in Dallas, TX and got to hear Katie live for the first time with GS. She and the band put on a frolicking good show! I am listening to this episode of the podcast right now." Scott Sterling: "Many thanks for putting it out there !" Jesse Ferguson (The Bard of Cornwall): "Awesome! Proud to be in such good company" Brigid's Crossing: "I really like Coast and Loveridge. Never heard of them before but just bought some tracks. Thanks for the find!" The Wild Irish Roses: "Thank You!!!" Golden Bough Music: "RIP Paddy. Such a wonderful musician and wonderful person! You will be very truly missed!" Cíana: "Thanks Marc! You're the best!" Brenda Richardson: "Are you planning any trips for the future? I cannot find any mention of it on your website or Facebook page." The Guinness Brothers: "Cheers guys" The Gatehouse Well: "Thanks so much! Can't wait to listen through this week's episode!" TURF FIRE LIARS: "Love your show!!!" Bob Spellman: "I always look forward to the new episodes" Kris Colt & the Black Rose Band: "Thank you so much for playing our new song Charmed. Very much appreciated" Susana Seivane posted: Hearts Eric Guarin posted a link: "Mark, you're always asking "what are you doing today while listening to the podcast"? Well today in fact I was running the Leghowney (leg - uh - nee said a local) Loop Scenic Walk near Donegal Ireland! A forest, a wind farm, a bunch of sheep, all lovely. The podcast made a great accompaniment, thanks!"

I am a Celtic musician and I love Christmas music. In each episode, I introduce you to Celtic musicians from the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast who are creating great Christmas music. This year I have an all new format. Instead of sharing the music in podcast form, I've created a playlist over on Spotify called Celtic Christmas Women. I hope to add YouTube and Amazon Music. But right now, it's just on Spotify. If you prefer the podcast format and want more Celtic Christmas MUSIC episodes of the podcast, make sure you join our Celtic Christmas Fans on Patreon. You'll get a music-only episode and will join the other 51 patrons who are helping spread Christmas Cheer! That said, this is actually the final MUSIC episode of the Celtic Christmas podcast. This episode was originally created for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast in 2020. This is a replay of that show. You can find a complete list of the artists in this show at CelticChristmasPodcast.com. CELTIC CHRISTMAS PLAYLISTS & NEWS There, also, you will find a link to our 2021 Celtic Christmas Women Spotify playlist that features MOST of the artists in this show.

My name is Marc Gunn. I am a musician and podcaster. This show is dedicated to the indie Celtic musicians. Please support these artists. Share the show with your friends. And find more episodes at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon. At the end of November, we hit a HUGE milestone for the podcast. We now have over 300 kind souls who donate to the podcast each and every month. They collectively pledge over $800 per episode to make this show happen. I was already planning a Celtic Christmas Women episode. But because of that milestone, I decided to turn it into a 2-hour special. Plus, I'm adding another 2-hour special next month. So in this show I'm gonna share Christmas music by women playing Celtic music. That's because women don't get the attention they deserve in the music business in general and in Celtic music either. So I'm gonna highlight these ladies. If you want to find out more about the gender gap in traditional music, check out the non-profit FairPle. They advocate for equal opportunity and balanced representation for all. 7:03 - "Good King Wenceslas" by The Gothard Sisters from Falling Snow 11:00 - "What Child Is This" by Laura MacKenzie from Yuletide Bagpipes 13:35 - "Christmas Is Coming/Red Hair Boy/King's Reel" by Eira from Glen Tidings Liesel Wilson: Vocals, Fiddle, Erhu, Octave Fiddle Sue Spencer: Guitar, Vocals 17:51  - "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" by Celtic Woman from The Magic of Christmas 21:55 - "The Song We Used to Sing" by Screaming Orphans from Single 25:16 - "Christ Child's Lullaby" by Steel Clover from Season of Love Sue Borowski 28:31 - "Patapan" by Sarah Marie Mullen from In the Moon of Wintertime 30:38 - CELTIC CHRISTMAS PODCAST If you're looking for more Celtic Christmas music, then you should definitely subscribe to the Celtic Christmas Podcast.

This usually takes about three hours total, so I enjoy listening to all the great artists featured in your podcast. Thanks for continuing to introduce me to various groups and keep up the great work. PS: You can see my tattoo of the Irish flag in the photo.” Dennis McLaughlin emailed from Boise, Idaho: “I just wanted to send a shout out about this week's podcast. I recently became a $5 an episode patron after just being a listener for a while.   As I sat listening to this week's music it was a rainy day here in Boise Idaho and the music was perfect!  I picked up some new artists to follow (Eira, Beth Patterson, and Thomas Patrick Kenny) as well. I am a musician and have played drums with our local pipes and drums bands and always appreciate the great independent artists that play at our local Celtic festival which has unfortunately been canceled last year and looks like this year as well. I also maintain the website for the Western USA MacLachlan Clan. Thanks for all you do concerning things Celtic music, pubs and travel.”

And find more episodes at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon. We have a bit of a different show today. I told my graphic designer, Miranda Nelson, that the St Patrick’s Day show would be the 500th episode of the podcast. She thought about it and came back and asked, “would you mind if I collected some audio feedback from some of the artists on the show.” I said,” sure! That sounds great!” I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect much of a response. But I remembered that she suggested this when I started compiling this 500th episode. She forwarded me some feedback via email. I looked through them and didn’t see any audio. “Oh well,” I thought. “Less than I expected, but that’s fine.” Then I noticed one band mentioned something about including audio in their email. But I never got that. So I emailed and asked Miranda where that audio was. Her response, “it’s in the folder you set up on Google Drive.” Oh yeah! I did do that, didn’t I? I opened up the folder and was floored to find over 60 recordings by Celtic bands wishing me a  happy 500th episode. Wow! Ye know a couple pieces are easy to pop into an episode. But I didn’t think about how to include ALL OF THESE pieces? So what should I do for this show? Instead of me introducing bands and songs, I’m gonna let the artists do it themselves. I will play their congratulations as a way of introducing their music. Course that means if you want to find out the name of the song or tune, you will need to visit the shownotes at CelticMusicPodcast.com or just check your podcatcher. Because each track has a time stamp so you can easily look it up. That said, I’ll have a few moments to break up the music and say hi. But for the most part this is just music and congratulations. I want to thank Miranda Nelson Designs for all of her hard work in making this happen. Miranda has a whole bunch of Celtic shirt designs you should check out at mirandanelsondesigns.com. And I want to thank everyone who has supported this podcast over the past 16 years. And without further adieu, let’s meet the bands. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

My husband and I live in Deep East Texas, but on St. Patrick’s Day Eve, we had the rare and wonderful opportunity to see the Chieftains perform in the nearby town of Tyler, Texas! We wore our Celtic finery (photo attached) and enjoyed a splendid show. We also loved the opening act, an Irish/Americana/folk fusion group called Switchback. Thank you for all you do to promote Celtic music!" Steve Cahill sent a St Patrick's Day photo: "Having a great time holding onto a beautiful night St. Patrick’s Day 2019! Slainte!" Jan Czenkusch sent some St Patrick's Day photos from 2019: "After church we went to our son's soccer game.  Interestingly it was the green team (Celtic Cowboys) against the orange team (don't know their name)."

We now have over 300 kind souls who donate to the podcast each and every month. They collectively pledge over $800 per episode to make this show happen. I was already planning a Celtic Christmas Women episode. But because of that milestone, I decided to turn it into a 2-hour special. Plus, I’m adding another 2-hour special next month. So in this show I’m gonna share Christmas music by women playing Celtic music. That’s because women don’t get the attention they deserve in the music business in general and in Celtic music either. So I’m gonna highlight these ladies. If you want to find out more about the gender gap in traditional music, check out the non-profit FairPle.

Women in Nuix host Annie Oman is joined for this episode by Beth Patterson, Director at legal technology consulting firm ESPConnect. They discuss their long professional relationship, taking smart chances, advocacy and coaching, and the role of people as the foundation for successful business.

Jeb and Blake discuss the ISO episode: Hurricanes.  The episode touches on some emotional memories for Jeb, who was directly impacted by Hurricane Katrina, the storm that devastated New Orleans in 2005. (Watch the ISO episode on YouTube.) (From NOAA - the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)  A tropical cyclone is a rotating low-pressure weather system that has organized thunderstorms but no fronts (a boundary separating two air masses of different densities). Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 39 miles per hour (mph) are called tropical depressions. Those with maximum sustained winds of 39 mph or higher are called tropical storms. When a storm's maximum sustained winds reach 74 mph, it is called a hurricane. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating, or category, based on a hurricane's maximum sustained winds. The higher the category, the greater the hurricane's potential for property damage. Tropical cyclones are categorized according to the speed of sustained winds. Tropical Depression - 38 mph or less Tropical Storm - 39 to 73 mph Hurricane Category 1 - 74 to 95 mph Category 2 - 96 to 110 mph Category 3 - 111 to 129 mph Category 4 - 130 to 156 mph Category 5 - 157 or higher mph The Maya god Hurakan. (Wikipedia) This one-legged diety is the axe who opens storms. Much of the ISO episode centers on Hurricane Camille, now considered the second most intense tropical cyclone to hit the United States.  The most intense since the measurement scale began was Hurricane Carla in 1961. This is based on a ranking that combines Intensity and Size, leaving Camile (1969), Opal (1995) and Katrina (2005) all tied for third with a combined score of 36.  Second place went to Betsy (1965).  Jeb shares some photos from Katrina.  The exodus as people flee the coming storm.   Arial footage of floodwater damage in 9th ward: Coverage of the tragedy in the lower 9th ward. Mercenaries after Katrina. Camp Greyhound - post-Katrina Internment Camp, where people were given the option of labor or being stuck on cold concrete. Famous Mike Myers & Kanye fundraiser moment. Trump throwing paper towels in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.   Back to shots from the Episode: Inside the National Hurrican Center in Florida. You can see they're still mostly in paper mode.  They have computers and advanced tools, but a lot of their work is still paper, feeding in report data and drawing projected paths and force on paper maps. ASCII computer map of the southern US coast. Richelieu Apartments BEFORE the Hurricane Richelieu Apartments AFTER the Hurricane Thankfully the hurricane party itself is a myth, but the tragic loss of lives was real. Prominently featured in the last third of the episode, but not so much in our coverage, is Dr. Neil Frank who was instrumental in making the National Hurricane Center the institution that it is today.     On a more positive note, we did get some 70's beach fashion in our Nimoy Fashion Alert!     Special thanks to Beth Patterson for allowing us to use her song Come Hell or High Water in this episode. Please check out this song and her other amazing music on Bandcamp.  

In this episode we have the opportunity to talk to Beth Patterson, a former member of The Summit who now serves as an Emergency Medicine doctor in the Bronx. Beth talks about the daily realities of caring for COVID patients and how she understands her unique calling to serve in the epicenter of the pandemic.Support the show (http://www.summitdenver.org/give)

Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Miranda Persson emailed a photo from Malmö, Sweden: "Hi Marc! Want to share what I do while listening to your podcast. Walking 15k on Saturday or Sunday mornings before breakfast. Unfortunately, the episode doesn't cover the whole walk. But the great Irish music gives me energy for an hour or so! Cold this morning, about 2°c. The winter is approaching. Anyway, thanks for a great podcast and thanks for being an eminent host!" John Adams emailed: “Hi Marc!I've been a fan of your podcast for about a year now, thanks to some local friends who pointed me your way.   I've also been curiously following the issue of diversity which has been an issue of debate on your show this summer.  I was surprised that you had had some backlash, as many people were, about the promotion of women in celtic music.  And then, I was very proud of how you handled the situation...and now, very excited to hear that you're planning an LGTBQ edition next year, with a call out for entries. I'm proud to say that our little celtic group here, in Salt Lake City, is quite diverse for being a small circle of close friends who love practicing and performing Irish and Celtic music as often as we can.  We include a female bodran player (straight, married to our flutist), straight flutist, a gay fiddler (me!), a single male guitarist and our newest, amazing addition of our singer, who is both gay and black.  It's never been our intention to push the 'diversity', however; we just let it be noticed (if at all). In any case, we would love to eventually be part of your music, whether it is for the Diversity issue or any others.  I can point you to our Facebook page and Soundcloud, but we are currently in the process of arranging and getting to the studio to record new pieces that include our singer.  Hopefully you can get a small taste of our sound from what we currently have, and when we have our new songs available, I'll certainly make them available.  I feel that we've been making a lot of progress with our sound and am excited to get the updated recordings done soon! Cheers, and I hope we will be able to provide you with some pleasant tunes soon" Tim Zierer emailed: "Hi Marc, first of all, a big thank you for producing your amazing Celtic music podcast. I’m so in love with it! I’m traveling in my motorhome since the beginning of last year through Canada and USA and had often listen to your podcast on amazing places in the nature with awesome views, ocean, lakes, forest, rain forest, desert, snowy mountains etc. and all the other wonders from our mother earth. In moments when I'm enjoying this good life, listening to the Celtic music makes the moment perfect. no other music better fits to my love of nature as your good selection. Thank you and very best greetings from Utah, United States. Tim, 29 (originally from Germany)"

Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Jacob Kenner emailed a photo: "Marc, I was listening to #427 while cleaning up the donkey pen when you asked us to share what we do while listening. I realized I almost always save the podcast for when I have a farm chore or a building project. I think it helps me relax and keep going. This is Violet (left) and Franklin (right), rescued donkeys we have in north central Washington State in the Okanogan highlands. Thanks for letting me share Celtic music with my donkey friends." Bryan MacAvoy emailed: "I was teleworking, recovering from ACL surgery, and listening to the pod (from 9/12), and practically dropped my laptop on the floor and re-injured myself jumping to see what that sound was: BassPipes, Orchestral Pipestep, that’s what. LOVE IT. I quickly went over to Amazon music to find what they had there (a few more), and am listening. I would not have thought myself a fan of Celtic Trad/ Dubstep Fusion, but here we are! Would love an episode dedicated to Gaelic Trad sounds in modern dance/ hip hop/ pop. I know that’s a tight niche, but if anyone is up to it, it’s you!" Beth Hlabse emailed photos: “Hi, Marc,I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for another wonderful podcast (412). Thanks to you, I discovered Heather Dale and I was very happy to hear her once again on you ‘cast. I’ve attached some photos of what I do while listening to the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. I’ve been cross-stitching since I was 12 (more years ago than I want to say) and I’ve found that listening to your podcast has kept me going on my more difficult projects. Keep up the good work and much joy, peace and happiness in your new home!"    Aaron Adair emailed: "Hi, Marc--I've been a LONG time listener and recent supporter through Patreon and have loved the music you've played over the years. It has made me yearn for my home country although until now I've never been. Thanks to you and your terrific podcast, I'm currently waiting to take off for Dublin, Adare, Galway, and points in between for my very first trip home. Listening to the Ramblin' Irishman episode is the perfect episode to prepare me for my adventure. Thanks for all you do to encourage, educate, and support artists and listeners about the greatness of Celtic music. Blessings to you and your family. " Robyn emailed: "Hi Marc, I, of course, love your podcast. Recently the love of my life, my husband, died. And I wanted to share with you how we listened to your podcast. I would come home from work and my dogs (3) and my husband would jump in the car and we'd go for a ride. It was a time with no phone, no distractions, just connecting with each other and see how each other's day went. Often we'd be listening to your podcast, singing along or just enjoying the music. Okay so not so unusual - one of our favorites is Loch Lomand. And now that he's gone ughhh brings me to tears each time I hear it but I can't stop playing it. I had missed some podcasts due to his illness, but when I listened to #407 oh my. Sobbing in my car, and remembering loving, great times. Thank-you for adding to the connection to life and love you have brought me. And now I have become a patron in honor of my husband, John. Slainte."   #celticwomen #irishmusic #celticmusic

I just found your podcast, im listening to #371 and loving it. I love rollicking instrumental celtic music and you are spot on. This is great. I will begin exploring all the others. I already subscribed and in the morning ill figure out how to send money. Here is a picture of what i am doing while listening. Many years ago i was producing concerts, Boys of the Louch, Aly Bain.. In that era i was listening to Fairport Convention and Sandy Denny, dave Swarbrick.. a couple of years back i made trip to Cropredy for Fairport festival and treked to Shetlands for a dose of their music... Celtic Stone is a favorite, especially “ an old man came in and sat down.” Fabulous piece. Thank you for making this music available to people who are far removed from the isles and cant get it locally.  Wonderful of you. Alex Randall Www.water-island.com

If something is broken, fix it. That's what my dad told me when I was a kid. The simple fact is things break all the time. We don't fix always fix them. We get stuck in a rut.  But it's the way things have always been. The way things are. It's a tradition. So we choose not to change. 2018 was a good year for me. I rebelled. I broke down traditional music business barriers. Now I'm forging a new path for a new year for my music...and for this podcast. The Pub Songs Podcast is reborn this year. It's a little bit more like a pub. I’m not gonna plan every detail of what I say. Instead, I’m gonna kick back. We’re gonna chat about music... and stuff.  Pub Songs Podcast is music and community.

Loved it! I'll have to go pick up the cd. Keep up the amazing work with the podcast! Don't worry, I also listen to the new episodes but regularly return to the early ones that fueled my budding obsession with Celtic music in middle school. I hope to see you live sometime in New Orleans! I saw Beth Patterson play at a restaurant a few months ago and recognized her voice immediately. Unfortunately I was too star struck to tell her that I had listened to her "Ye Jacobites By Name" (my favorite rendition) for years on your podcast. Thank you for everything you do for independent Celtic artists, you have introduced me to many musicians who are now near and dear to my heart. Avid fan and amateur bodhran player, Jeremy" Rúnfell emailed on Facebook from Germany: "Hello! I wanted to say thank you very much for sharing my first single on your page, I really really appreciate that. Good luck with everything and have a great day!" Victoria Mathis emailed on Facebook: "Hello, I just wanted to answer your request for messages tonight. You're my favorite evening Irish and Celtic music channel on Roku.  The music you play often reminds me of my Irish Grandmother who would sing many family songs, some were great old drinking tunes too. My very Scottish Grandfather would laugh along to her funny songs and play his auto harp. We would sing and laugh drinking our root beer ice cream floats while the adults enjoyed their beverages too. I miss those days while I still enjoy doing the exact same traditions with my modern era family. Keep up the awesome work, you remind me of the words of a forgotten song at least once a night." Carl Garman emailed a photo on Facebook: "I've been listening to your podcasts for almost two years now and I love them. I listen to them while making powder horns. It's relaxing just listening to the music while doing something from the 17th &18th century's. Thank you for bring this to us. Keep up the great work!"

It's tough to find women in Celtic music. That's what I learned when searching my library for music performed by women for Mother's Day. But I found some great Celtic music from The Gothard Sisters, FIMM, Bonnie Rideout, Dublin Harpers, Eilis Crean, Good Foot, Dearest Home, Sarah Copus, Burning Bridget Cleary, Solasta, Fromseier Rose, Beth Patterson, Searson, Emish, Plaidgrass. http://celticmusicpodcast.com/ Listen and share this podcast.

Just wanted to send some personal thanks. My father has been playing Celtic guitar for most of his life and all of mine, so it's been in the house since day one. I thought I had heard it all, each corner and subgenre to be found, but my library has been greatly and duly humbled by your extensive and seasoned pallet. I've shared the podcast and many of its contents with my dad, and it has enriched our Celtic cosmos remarkably. I took the podcast with me last summer while studying abroad in Russia and it was a wonderful way to keep in touch with my roots during my commute. Having also spent time in non-Celtic Spain, the Galicia episode opened another door in my musical conception of Iberia. In short, Thank you!! An amateur flute player myself, I would love to hear a flute-heavy episode, and I'm sure all musicians who listen to the podcast would love their own instrument-themed episodes. Just a thought that has crossed my mind (not that you don't have plenty already!) Keep up the fantastic work---it's very much appreciated!" Thank you Henry. I haven't done a flute or whistle episode. Let me see what I can put together. I wish I had an easy way to search my archive for flute music. Sadly, I don't. But perhaps I can reach out to you and all my listeners. If you have heard some bands with flute or whistle, please email me the band names so I can make a possible list of the podcast. Jennifer Lohman emailed a picture: "While I am listening to your podcast from Terra Alta, WV (USA) 31 degrees here today-so the dogs & I are staying in." Stephen Reimann emailed: "Dear Celt Father, I am a big fan of your show and what you are doing to add breadth and depth to those who listen to Celtic music. I am an Account Manager for a major Pharmaceutical company which requires an extensive amount of driving.  By extensive I mean on average 60K miles each year.  Your podcast enables me to not only pass the time driving between accounts, but also increase my knowledge and love of all things musically Irish and Celtic.  The theme diversity of your shows is stellar.  Just like Christopher Walken’s SNL character, The Bruce Dickinson, needed “More Cowbell,” I need more bagpipes.  Any chance of another Bagpipe theme’d show in the near future? Thank you for all you do to sharpen our proverbial musical sgian-dubhs." Stephen “Bow Tie Steve” Reimann (Rye-man) Thanks Bow Tie Steve. Yeah. You can never have enough bagpipes. It will have to be a few months, but I'll add that to the list as well. Maybe I should add both this and the flute show as milestones... Would you be interested in another bagpipe show as well. Drop me a line.

New Orleans has always held an appeal to the Irish due to its Catholic traditions and safe harbor for anti-British sentiments. An early wave of Irish immigrants, fleeing British persecution at the end of the 1700s, landed in New Orleans and became well woven into the economic and social fabric of the city. Irish pubs dot the Crescent City's French Quarter from the beatiful courtyards of Pat O'Brien's Bar or the divey feel of Fahy's or the Erin Rose. Ireland's influence is felt in neighborhoods such as the Irish Channel, St. Patrick's Church and the tradition of Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras. With Fat Tuesday upon us, Windy City Irish Radio celebrates the decadent season with music from Professor Longhair, Judy Collins, Beth Patterson, Harry Connick Jr, Na Fianna, Tom McDermott & lucia micarelli, The Lash, Anthony Thistlethwaite, Scythian, Kevin Burke in Chicago, Joe McShane and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for the Irish Mardi Gras! Join Tim and Mike each Wednesday night at 8pm on 1240AM WSBC or right at www.windycityirishradio.com. Laissez le bon temps rouler! Hey, it's Mardi Gras, ya'll!!

Beth Patterson speaks on the little known Christmas Song ‘ When Love crossed over’ When Love Crossed Over “One glorious night when love crossed over and cast aside both crown and throne…” Christians sing about this all the time.

Gordon emailed: "Hi Marc, Thanks for the magnificent podcast. I listen to it on long car rides and the music is terrific. I especially love the Celtic Star Wars tunes. I hope to catch you at a forthcoming Ren Faire. I'm a college professor and screenwriter and have recently completed a feature female-driven adventure screenplay that incorporates aspects of Scottish folklore. It's called The Storm King and is about Skye Blackwood, the 18-year-old reluctant successor to a remote village’s leader. She's forced to take up the mantle when the adults of her community, including her older brother, abruptly vanish, pushing her to set out with a ramshackle team to find them and become the leader she never wanted to be. The script recently made the top 10% of the Academy Nicholl Screenwriting Fellowships, which is a top screenwriting competition. I'm excited! I listened to a good number of your podcasts while writing it and the music was inspiring. I realize this is a total shot in the dark, but if you know of any managers, producers, or reps who'd be interested in reading such a thing, I'd be very grateful for the referral (and I'd absolutely become a patron). Either way, keep up the great work and I look forward to more excellent, inspiring music." Thanks Jared. I'll be honest. Networking is not my strong suit. That's one of the reasons I podcast. It's easier than trying to go out and meet people. Yes, believe it or not, but I am a major introvert. That said, if anyone out there knows managers, producers or reps, contact Jared. Or me. I could use help too. Carol Baril commented on Patreon: "I listen to these podcasts while working at my computer software developement job. I can listen to the music while testing my programs since I have an office not a cube!

Beth Patterson is the only professional bouzouki player in New Orleans who finds meaning and fulfillment in the words and music of the Canadian ensemble Rush. Yes, Rush. There s just something about Rush that speaks to Beth and somehow makes her feel less of a freaky outsider. And she really doesn t have much to feel freaky or alienated from society about other than being the author of songs like "Matchstick," about the joys of arson, "Show Me On The Doll," and going from this podcast to a recording studio to record a classical Indian version of a Black Sabbath song. Other than that, and being used, discarded, and the victim of attempted murder, Beth is just your regular Lafayette Welsh girl who moved to New Orleans and hides out in Mississippi. Other than Beth, Becky Hardin has the darkest eyes of anyone who has ever been a guest on Happy Hour. What are the chances of having the two darkest eyed people in the history of Happy Hour on the same show Becky quit a career in music promotion with gigs like Voodoo and Wednesdays at the Square, to open City Surf, the workout gym Uptown on Magazine Street where you get to simulate surfing and end up with a body as awesome as Becky s without the expense or effort of moving to Florida or California. Andrew Duhon tries out a new song about the benefits of Going Alone. Photos at Wayfare by Alison Moon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CeltiSode 2010!Happy (Belated) St. Patrick's Day, Everyone!!First off, let me please humbly apologize for the HUGE delay that this episode has weathered. Thank you so much for your patience! I truly hope you find the show well worth the wait. :):) Whether you hear this on St. Paddy's itself or tune in during any other time of the year, I hope this day brings nothing but joy to you and yours, and that you enjoy this slightly super-sized episode as much as I do. (And that's after listening to it a million times during its arrangement, so that's saying something! ;D)This show is chock-full of fantastic music, made by some unbelievably skilled & gifted musicians! Some of this is work I've collected over many, many years (through places like myriad renaissance festivals, Thistle & Shamrock shows, and a good few Celtic festivals), while other pieces were acquired more recently; explicitly for play on this show. Celtic music has been a part of my heart for as long as I can remember, and I hope its soulfulness, passion and playfulness always will. :)Finding and playing the best of pod-safe Celtic music for you seems a superb way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day (musically speaking)- but for me, this music can make any day of the year an occasion. Plus, what a gift! I have found more phenomenal music in searching for pieces for this podcast than I can count! What a delight to've found sublime chanteuses like Maria Dunn, Beth Patterson and the ladies of Maidens IV!! And what a blessing to be able to share such personal favorites as The Rogues & Lothlorien, as well as a more recent favorite; the enthralling, enchanting power of Omnia! Each of these pieces hold their own magic and beauty, whether it be sweet & lilting or raucous and irreverent. And don't just relegate this lovely brand of tune-age to St. Paddy's! Celtic music goes beautifully at pubs, renaissance fairs, faerie-themed events, barn dances, and all kinds of events where merry-making is called for- even funerals on occasion- so keep it in mind the next time you go out with family & friends!Whether you're Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Manx or Scots-Irish (like yours truly), if you're English, German, Italian, Asian, Greek, Indian, American, Black Irish or French, may the luck of the Irish always be with you, and may you find your own pot of gold in pleasures big and small on this clover-filled, merrily-jigging day! (Just be careful with the Guinness, Harp Lager & Goldschläger, please! We want you around to celebrate the NEXT St. Paddy's, too! ;D)Now let me pick my fiddle back up again, and have a merry St. Pat's!! (Or whatever day you choose to celebrate it on. ;))Track List1. Dougie Maclean - Caledonia2. Anne Roos - Considine's Grove3. Will Kriski - Kerry's Jig 4. Great Big Sea - Company of Fools 5.

(Although other parts of the world still identify strongly with their Celtic roots, such as Caledonia in Spain, Newfoundland in Canada, Brittany in France, as well as much of the American south; especially those in and around the Appalachian & Rocky ountains.)Don't believe me? Listen to some of the folk music from these areas (including much of old as well as new American Country- from Bluegrass on), and see if you don't hear a Celtic lilt to many of fiddle tunes & melodies!

Join the Celtic Invasion of the Highlands of ScotlandI still have space on my Celtic Invasion of the Highlands. We’re gonna visit the beautiful Kinross Estate and Gardens built by William Bruce in 1560. We’ll see some standing stones and visit Cawdor Castle as the sun sets outside of Inverness. We’ll steam train around Cairngorn National Park. And end up with some fun in Stirling. Celtic Invasion Vacations are unlike any other vacation package you will find online. Instead of traveling with 30-60 people getting on and off buses all day long, you will join a maximum of 15 people in cars, stopping to meet your needs.

CeltiSode 2010!Happy (Belated) St. Patrick's Day, Everyone!!First off, let me please humbly apologize for the HUGE delay that this episode has weathered. Thank you so much for your patience! I truly hope you find the show well worth the wait. :):) Whether you hear this on St. Paddy's itself or tune in during any other time of the year, I hope this day brings nothing but joy to you and yours, and that you enjoy this slightly super-sized episode as much as I do. (And that's after listening to it a million times during its arrangement, so that's saying something! ;D)This show is chock-full of fantastic music, made by some unbelievably skilled & gifted musicians! Some of this is work I've collected over many, many years (through places like myriad renaissance festivals, Thistle & Shamrock shows, and a good few Celtic festivals), while other pieces were acquired more recently; explicitly for play on this show. Celtic music has been a part of my heart for as long as I can remember, and I hope its soulfulness, passion and playfulness always will. :)Finding and playing the best of pod-safe Celtic music for you seems a superb way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day (musically speaking)- but for me, this music can make any day of the year an occasion. Plus, what a gift! I have found more phenomenal music in searching for pieces for this podcast than I can count! What a delight to've found sublime chanteuses like Maria Dunn, Beth Patterson and the ladies of Maidens IV!! And what a blessing to be able to share such personal favorites as The Rogues & Lothlorien, as well as a more recent favorite; the enthralling, enchanting power of Omnia! Each of these pieces hold their own magic and beauty, whether it be sweet & lilting or raucous and irreverent. And don't just relegate this lovely brand of tune-age to St. Paddy's! Celtic music goes beautifully at pubs, renaissance fairs, faerie-themed events, barn dances, and all kinds of events where merry-making is called for- even funerals on occasion- so keep it in mind the next time you go out with family & friends!Whether you're Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Manx or Scots-Irish (like yours truly), if you're English, German, Italian, Asian, Greek, Indian, American, Black Irish or French, may the luck of the Irish always be with you, and may you find your own pot of gold in pleasures big and small on this clover-filled, merrily-jigging day! (Just be careful with the Guinness, Harp Lager & Goldschläger, please! We want you around to celebrate the NEXT St. Paddy's, too! ;D)Now let me pick my fiddle back up again, and have a merry St. Pat's!! (Or whatever day you choose to celebrate it on. ;))Track List:1.
