Claddagh – sounds of Ireland

Throughout this past year, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with the Irish music duo Claddagh. Claddagh’s song list of Irish classics, American folk songs and a few contemporary rocks classic blend together as musicians Kieran and Gary, delight their audience with songs and stories from their native county of Ireland.  As the evening set list unfolds, a call to the audience to “join us on-stage” reveal revelers to who sometimes sing in harmony and sometimes they
don’t. Regardless, the audience responds with a standing ovation or a roar of laughter.

Sometimes, the dual includes Kieran and David, who will occasionally include Jeanie or Andrea who add their percussion, keyboard and vocal talents to the group. 

Come join us, typically on Friday evenings in Richardson at Gillespie’s @ the Shire or in North Dallas at the Irishman.

Whoops! DeepSeek catches everyone by surprise!

Seems like to team at DeepSeek has everyone in the AI space scrambling.  All indications state DeepSeek R1 model was created for $5.5 Million versus the Billions of dollars Chat GPT and other spend on their products!  Amazing.  This story will continue to evolve. As of just a few days ago, March 18, other China based companies are releasing AI versions.

Thanks for everyone’s feedback from the January presentation! I appreciate the input. I’ll continue to refine the presentation….Long before the arctic air surrounds the room and shortly after the New Year celebration confetti falls to the ground, I have always found it beneficial to review, renew and refresh my “contacts”. My “neural” network of friends, family and business associates. Along side this imitative, I seek to review my knowledge skills as assess my continual and on-going desire to learn. The first of the year provides a way to “jump” start these initiatives before the year slips away. I’ll be sharing my “Leverage your Skills and your Network” during an upcoming North Dallas Catholic Connections Business Networking lunch. Join us January 16, at 12:00 Noon at 12Cuts in North Dallas. Hope to see you there.
