Dan Harms is the other half of the amazing Catholic nerdcore band, Popple (Think– They Might be Giants with rosaries).  Last month, Popple released their wonderful new album, Hip, Hip, Hooray.  If you are still searching for the perfect Christmas gift for one of your loved ones, you could not go wrong with Popple’s CDs or T-Shirts.

For last year’s Catholic New Media Advent Calendar, Dan presented us with  an original song, Can You See Him? (© December 14, 2008, Dan Harms).

Today Dan drops in again with a tasty acoustic recording of I Saw 3 Ships.  Dan says, “It’s an old British carol – evidently written somewhere around the 17th century: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Saw_Three_Ships .  Sting has some sweet versions of the song an I did a version of it in DADGAD tuning.”

Join us tomorrow and every day until December 26 for more reflections produced by great Catholic New Media personalities.

Today, Father Roderick and the SQPN network closed their annual fund raising drive with a 12 hour podcast marathon. I thought I would surprise Father Roderick with something special. The Catholic New Media Celebration will be held this year in San Antonio, Texas on June 27. I’m still unable to go but it will be an amazing event. To help promote the CNMC, I wrote and recorded a parody called, ‘People are going to San Antone’ with the help of Adam Hendey on flute (recorded by his mother Lisa Hendey the Catholic Mom), and Dan Harms of Popple on Lead Guitar.

Enjoy.

In July 2006, I stopped by at Our Lady of the Highway shrine in Vegreville, Alberta Canada. In today’s episode I talk about the shrine and have prepared an audio/picture slideshow so you can see and hear this special place I also include some audio feedback I sent to the Rosary Army Podcast while I was at the shrine. The background music is Hail Holy Queen by The Harms. Dan Harms is 1/2 of Popple.

If you have downloaded this audio via rss, check out the slideshow on my website.

If you would like me to release my For the Sake of the Song interview with Kyle from Popple earlier than the scheduled April 20, then send me some feedback in the comments, to ductapeguy (at) hotmail (dot) com or to my voicemail feedback number at 206-337-0611 .
