My mother points out that it is over a year since I updated this blog.
Actually she pointed out that it was 3 months, … and 6 months… and 9
months… You get they idea.

In the last 1-1/2 years, I have been very busy with a new workplace, a
new home, listening to a million podcasts, booking acts for a folk club,
recording public domain audio-books for Librivox.org, spending time with
my wife and daughter, and rediscovering my faith.

In an attempt to rediscover this blog, I will start to answer the
question: So what have you been up to?

Funny you should ask.

1. On the music front, my entire CD and several newer songs are available
   on my EZFOLK.COM site. http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/600/
2. Last December 26, one of my songs, Homeless  Babe was included on a list of 128 CC licensed Christmas Songs on Some Rights Reserved, the blog of Uwe Hermann, a German Debian developer. The article was featured on boingboing!   This led to over 1500 downloads throughout the year. The song is
   currently the #1 all-time downloaded Christmas song on Ezfolk.com.
3. I still maintain my classroom webpage, but at a different school. Mr. McGaughey’s Grade 2 class  http://par.scdsb.on.ca/classes/mcgaughey
4. I have been recording chapters of public domain audiobooks for Librivox.org. Over 2500 people from around the world are volunteering to try torecord ALL PUBLIC DOMAIN WRITINGS and release them as free
   audiobooks. My (somewhat out of date) page on librivox is http://librivox.org/wiki/moin.cgi/DuctapeGuy
   . Some of my contributions to librivox include: Host of Librivox Community Podcast
