From DJ to Podcaster, Kindle vs. iPad, Best Celtic Rock 2014
I just posted my very first “DJ” experience from when I was a teenager to my Patrons. It reminded me today that I actually tried to become a DJ back in college. I reflect on that as well as on my iPad and the Best Celtic Rock and Celtic Music of 2014 all in today’s […]

Why I Love Patreon + CD of the Month Club
I’ve talked a lot about Patreon over the past couple of months. As an artist and creator, it makes me happy. I have a lot of trouble keeping up with all the social media sites, the emails, and the blogs. There’s too much to do. Patreon makes my life simpler and it helps me to […]
2 Toughest Things About Songwriting
I’m currently engaged in my Song of the Week Challenge. My goal is to write a new song every week. It doesn’t matter how good it is. I just want to write. Then I will record the song and share it with my Patrons at www.marcgunn.net. I haven’t written a lot of new music over […]
