Marc's Musings

Greetings <:firstname:>,

I just got back from the North Texas Irish Festival. What a brilliant time I had! Music, music and more music. Plus, I did interviews and collected promos for my podcasts. I am totally ready for St. Patrick's Day next weekend. But there's still one thing I'm missing--birthday wishes from you.

I had this cool idea that since St Patrick's Day is also my birthday, it would be way cool to get a bunch of Happy Birthday voice mail messages that I can play at the end of the Brobdingnagian Bards' Podcast. So if you'd like to record one, call 512-879-NEWT (6398) and leave a message.

NTIF & UPCOMING SHOWS

What made NTIF so cool? Yes, I listened to a lot of great music. But I also joined the sessions. I am learning out to play bodhran (an Irish drum) right now. So I swapped back and forth between bodhran and autoharp. It was rockin'!

It was also amazing to see how many people recognized me. There are a lot of new podcast listeners out there. Course, I have five. Four that I release with any degree of regularity. In a world that seems rather disconnected since fans can listen at their leisure, that's just very cool.

I also ran into a number of fans of my cat CD. I suspect we'll meet many more right after St. Pat's when we perform at All-Con up in Dallas. And then the week after that we head to one of my favorite places, Long Island, for I-Con.

More gigs are being added to the schedule, including a few on St Patrick's Day. So I hope you will be a part of our lives.

AOL USERS MAY NO LONGER RECEIVE EZINES

I heard recently that AOL is implementing a new service for their subscribers that will charge ezine publishers like me to access their members. Sadly, I can't afford that. Therefore, if you are an AOL subscriber, I would suggest you find a new email address if you want to continue receiving my ezines. Sorry for the inconvience.

HELP PROMOTE

St Patrick's Day is the biggest time of year for us. I need your help getting the word out. If you have a blog or a website could you write about and add links to these websites for us:

Thank you for your help.

Marc's Lyrics & Poetry

Do Not Call Registry - Violators Will Be Dealt With
by Marc Gunn

Not much to say. The poem kinda tells the story.

Peace returning.
*sigh*
I just had a phone solicitor call me.
In violation of the National Do Not Call Registry.
I collected their information,
Filed a complaint,
And now the anger and stress I felt
From dealing with U.S. Custom Forms...
Disappears.
Peace returning.
