Real Men Wear Kilts Update
So we’ve had a LOT of questions about when the Brobdingnagian Bards’ next CD, Real Men Wear Kilts would be released. It’s been a big question for everyone. We just haven’t made any progress on the album in about a year. Today, we finally sat down to see what was left to record. Right now, […]

One of the many uses. So if you want […]

Here’s one to think about… Imagine that Life was The Vacation, and Death was just a temp job. What would your last thoughts be before you died? Originally published at Marc Gunn […]
