Do Marc's Musings ever inspire you? ============================= Greetings <:firstname:>, Wow! The holiday season is here, and in less than two weeks, I'll be in Europe. Hard to believe, but I've some big plans. I'm flying into The Netherlands so I can visit a couple o'friends I have overseas. My friend Ingrid Houwers who designed the front cover of our upcoming CD, "Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales," plans to show mearound a wee bit, including... taking me to a Fantasy Faire on the December 18th. Can you imagine it? A fantasy faire in The Netherlands!!! I'm so excited! From there, I'm taking a train down to Switzerland. I befriended the band Heidi, Stef, and Bow Triplets when we were on MP3.com.I wasn't able to make it to Switzerland when I last visited twoyears ago. So now, I'm making sure I get a chance to jam with them. Plus, I've been dying to see Switzerland again. It's been years since I was there and I have blissful memories of it. Oh, and I saw in their newsleter that they have a new song outat SoundClick--The Last Shirt. Wonderful songwriting. When I leave Switzerland, it sounds like I'll have a nice-sized familiy gathering for Christmas. My mom plans to pick my nephew and nieces from Germany and bring them down to Italy for Christmas. That will be awesome. Hey, maybe I can even let my nephew see Sting again? LOL Sorry, I should explain that. A couple years back, I have my nephew a replica of Bilbo Baggins' sword STING. His mom wasn't happy that's for sure because of the laws against owning large knives. Ah well, he dug it, but my mom had to take it back to Italy with her. A lot of my Italian plans are not yet set. Sometime after Christmas, I'm supposed to head down to the Rome to visit and jam with some Celtic musicians. I'm trying to set up a gig. Just not sure ifit will happen yet. In between that, Venezia, and maybe see what kind of celebrations are taking place around the countryside. --- If you'd like a postcard from Europe, email me your address, Slainte! PS. I setup a Travel Tales webpage on my site to keep people up-to-date with my adventures. Feel free to check in every few days at Marc's Travel Tales, though I may just cross-post it all to my LiveJournal. ============================= Ever Hopeful, More Often Hurtin A few weeks back, I had an interesting look at love and the reasons behind some of my past relationships. Ever hopeful, As a child I gave friendship and love with fervor Ever hopeful, My cheeks were red and sore by high school. Ever hopeful, By college, friendship gave to love and romance. Never hopeful, Then one night, I was amazed to find love Always hopeful, The cycle returns once again Ever hopeful, --- |  Soul of a Harper An autoharper's spiritual wandering through Celtic songs.
