My real estate website: https://vinyardschoice.com/index.html
This is how I've earned my living for 40+ years. If you are interested in farms and country property, there is a lot of information on here which can help you. There is also a ton on what you can do in this area along with a great slide show to demonstrate what it is like living here in the Mohawk Valley. (Be aware there is a ghost site out there with a dark blueish background not too different than this site here. If you see that, beware: it is totally out of date. And I am unable to remove it.)
Our house concert website: https://rockytopconcert.webador.com/
We've hosted house concerts here at Rocky Top since 2009, usually 4 a year, normally traditional-based music from full-time touring professionals. Most have gone on to become friends. Always a special evening for everyone, magical.
My Irish duo's site: https://themunsterpickles.weebly.com/
We starred playing at open mikes and do a few select shows each year. The shows are mostly Irish but we add American and other fiddle tunes and songs I like to sing even if they're not Irish. Kris Berner plays the fiddle and I stick to guitar and Celtic banjo and do the vocals. The name came from a jig I wrote about the dubious delights of Irish cuisine (see "That Old Guitar").
Public domain music website: https://publicdomainmusic.webador.com/
Not exciting reading, but a real help to folks who need to find out just what can be played without worrying about royalties. It got started when I was researching my first CD (Raised in a Lion's Den) and found to my shock, my horror, there was no definitive site with this stuff listed. I hesitate to call it definitive as there might be mistakes since I get my material from others, but it's a darn good start for someone and is the largest source of traditional anonymous and public domain song names in the folk vein. Totally free.
Guitar tonewood website: http://tonewooddatasource.weebly.com/
A very large site, started when I was researching wood for a guitar build. A huge site; it's had 2000 hits a week, Over 100 species listed that have been used to make guitars, along with descriptions of what to expect when using the woods, along with a lot of photos + a variety of articles on the subject. Everything on the site is free, a way of thanking the many who have helped me.
Where my cave ballad efforts are focused: https://caves.org/
This is another huge site - search enough and you'll find all the cave ballads + my requirements to enter next year's competition. I run both the annual Tuesday night Open Mike and the ballad contest, results of which are announced at the Awards Salon on Thursday night of our yearly Convention (site changes yearly). Join so you can enter.
