I welcome you to my world of Celtic Music.
Take a moment to look through the pages that I have.
Grab a wee dram of some fine single malt Scotch, like Laphroaig, Oban or Tomatin,
and stop by my "Recordings" page and click on the sound bytes.
Above are some pictures from Celtic Festival Japan '98 and a couple here in the states.
Other pictures will be posted and changed from time to time.
So come back again because you're always welcome at my house!
But next time, bring a wee dram for me wi' you!

For other links and how to contact me, please go to the bottom of this front page.

As I am always on the go and this page is always changing,
bookmark this page so that you can come back and see me.
And since you're here, stop by and sign my guestbook. I'd love to hear from you.

Definition: Scottish-obviously, Irish-assuredly, Insane -probably,
**** **ENTERTAINING---DEFINITELY! ******
A Celt of high regard with a warped humor living on the "lunatic fringe"
(somewhere in the vicinity of Tacoma, WA, USA).

But it is not all craziness.
Red is also devoting time to the education of America's youth by doing as many school programs as possible,
teaching kids about their Scottish and Irish roots, the folk tales and legends, the battles, history and geography,
politics, the involvement of the Celts in America and disguising it as entertainment. Believe me, it works!
