Marc's Musings

Marc with Family CatGreetings <:firstname:>,

I mae a lot of updates to my websites recently. I wanted to clean up my websites and make them more accessible. As you can see, I made some changes to Marc's Musings too. It's tough deciding to cut content that you like. I love posting poems, but since I haven't written many recently, it's kinda hard to continue that feature when I don't have new ones to post. But don't worry, I'll still post links to new poems as I write them. On to the musings...

 

MARC'S MUSIC NEWS
Last month's CD release went great. My solo audience is growing. So well, I got a couple o'satirical reviews that we joked about at the show. They were too funny not to share.

As for my new CDs? Well, "A Tribute to Love" (Listen) is nearly complete. I need to do a wee bit o'editing on one song before it is done. Otherwise, I'm really pleased with the album. It beautifully highlights so many different aspects of love. It just fills my heart with joy listening to it. You can hear to it on my redesigned homepage where I post all my latest news.

I am currently recording a lot of new instrumental pieces. At this rate, I might have ANOTHER CD by Christmas. This one will be dedicated to the fae. You can listen to my latest tune "Stardust Serenade" in my blog.

For those of you who just love Irish music, I just received a new pressing of my latest compilation CD, "Victims of Irish Music". This album features 17 instrumental Irish tunes by a wide variety of Celtic artists featured in my Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. The music is top-notched and continues to receive rave reviews. If you enjoy independent Celtic music, you will love this CD

 

MARC GUNN LIVE!
Our Fall schedule is just now fleshing out. It's gonna be a busy one since we were just confirmed at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival. I was also throwing around the idea of flying up to Boston to visit friends and maybe play a gig or two. As the idea developed, I decided I needed a better way to share my upcoming gigs. So I signed up with Eventful.

Eventful is a fantastic site where you will be notified every time I decide to perform in your area. Just go make a Demand at Eventful. It's quick and easy to do.

Meantime, you will find us performing next week at DragonCon. Our complete schedule is now on our website. Hope to see some of you there.

 

P1000846 SAFFRON WINS BEST FILK SONG AND CELTIC CAT WOODEN MUGS
The last big news is that my song "She Said Her Name Was Saffron" did, in fact, Win in the recent Sing-A-Song for Saffron Contest. It won Best Filk Song, and we were invited to sing the song on The Signal Firefly Podcast at DragonCon next week.

OH! And I told a few people about my new wooden mugs. They are designed with my Celtic Cat Logo and look brilliant. I place an order for them and they are now on sale. Not sure how many of these I'll actually sell. So if you want one, order soon.

Peace and love in your life. Slainte!
