Summary
Every now and then a Celtic artist will allow me to release an entire album in podcast form, much like DJs did back in the 70s. I've found it a great way to promote my music and a great way to sell more music as well. That is the ultimate goal of this podcast, after all, to help Celtic bands sell more music. This week, I'm featuring my St. Patrick's Day album called "Not Every Day Is St. Patrick's Day". If you enjoy it, please buy a copy on iTunes or Amazon or just share it with a friend.

| 0:16.0 | out a little bit about my music because I am giving you the entire album from |
| 0:20.7 | not every day is St. Patrick's. This is a CD I released several years ago. |
| 0:25.0 | I got this idea many years ago from DJ's back in the 70s when they would play an |
| 0:31.0 | entire album when it was first released. |
| 0:34.3 | I thought that was a cool idea. |
