Man, I'm getting psyched. The
Texas Renaissance Festival is rapidly approaching. Just three more days, and we're back at faire. It's definitely fueling my desire to play more.
Today, I'm heading back out to the South Mall of UT Austin to practice. Course, most of my solo practicing isn't the
funny music that the Brobdingnagian Bards typically play during our live show. A lot of my solo stuff is composed of
Irish ballads,
Scottish songs, and my own
unique folk songs.
When the weather is as great as it is, it all comes together beautifully out on the South Mall. I'll be out ther from 12-1pm during my lunch break. Course, it's always nice to see people out there. So come out if you have the time.
If you've never heard me perform, the Brobdingnagian Bards have a lot of
free music downloads on their website. I have my fair share of
free folk music downloads as well.
Free music downloads are one of the main reasons we've progressed as rapidly as we have. I've built an entire
directory of free music downloads online. And also publish an ezine of
free celtic music downloads as well.
Course, none of this has squat to do with the
Texas Renaissance Festival...
Wait. That's not entirely true. I've helped promote a lot of Renaissance Festival bands online with free music downloads. And at the Texas Renaissance Festival, you'll see bands like
Cantiga,
Tartanic,
Iris and Rose, and many more who offer free music downloads.
Okay... Time to get back to work, and maybe go listen to some of that
free music to get me ready... Oh! Shoot, I need to go to
Ren Radio. That'll definitely put me in the mood. Slainte!

Next weekend, we're heading back to one of our favorite faires--the
Texas Renaissance Festival. We've the same schedule as last year. Find the Warfside Music Gazebo, and you can see us four times a day. I think our last show of the day will be an all-request show, so get your favorite song requests ready.
Not too long ago, I compiled a list of all the Texas Renaissance Festival journal entries I've made over the years.
Oh! There'll be a lot of great
bagpipe music as well as a bunch of great
Renaissance festival music out there. So I'll see ye at the
Texas Renaissance Festival!

I was looking for
bagpipe music online. There are a few cool places. My favorite are the
free bagpipe music downloads on my
Celtic MP3s Music Magazine website.
My favorite Bagpipe music bands and artists:
I should also mention
Mark Saul's electric bagpipe project. Pretty sweet stuff.

A couple years ago, I was driving around the back roads of the Veneto in Italy and took a marvelous photo of some of the trees.
The trees out of the area have a very unique look to them. During WWII, Italians cut off the top limbs to use for firewood. But they left a tall stump. This stump then grow lots of smaller limbs, which the continued to harvest.
This technique created a very unique looking tree that I was able to capture on my camera.
See the
Trees of the Veneto.

I was just checking out my
Auto Glass Repair in Austin webpage and was disappointed to see it was no longer on the google charts.
Not sure what happened, but quite honestly, Chris Bielstein is the best guy for the job over the spam that's covering the search results. Ah well... that's the way the charts play out.
Mayhaps one day, I'll figure out how I can help him out better by getting that page back to the top. But for now,
Austin Auto Glass Repair shall get other referrals.
