I must confess that I don’t believe in the word “impossible”. It’s my Amway upbringing. I have a bad habit. Every time someone starts telling me what they dream about doing, I begin telling them how they can make it happen. I know it’s just a dream. Some people like separating dreams from reality. I’m […]

Political Cynicism
When it comes to politics, I’m a cynic. For the most part, I know who I want to vote for in the next election. What is disturbing to me is the lies the candidates are telling to sell their points. Recently, I started reading The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris. In it, Timothy tells […]
Be On Time
I was reading Seth Godin’s latest blog on Time, and how it is “the #1 most overlooked secret of marketing”. I’m not sure where my sense of timeliness came from. In the 10th grade, I won $100 because I was the only person with a perfect attendance. I never skipped on classes. Maybe it goes […]
Marc Weeklies: Everything’s Better with Pirates
My body is so out of whack. Acupuncture really is fascinating. I never thought much about the way things affect my body. I’m not even sure what is doing what to me, but I have felt physically off since DragonCon… not sick… just off. Fortunately, I am taking good care of myself with lots of […]
Samwise Gamgee (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, May 30, 2007 I’m not sure where my fascination with Samwise Gamgee of Lord of the Rings came from, but he is one of my favorite song subjects. He is a good-hearted loyal friend to Frodo. Without him, Frodo would never have succeeded. I recorded this song for my CD, What Color […]
How Do You Tell a Woman You’re in Love with Her? (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn I wrote this song in September, 2007. It began with a riff on the autoharp. It was raining outside, so I just singing some random lyrics into my digital recorder. Then I refined the story, re-recorded it with instrumentation and loved the danceable fun feel of the song. I added it to […]
Pig’s Song (Lyrics)
by traditional I love this song! I remember when I was younger, my dad would sing this to me. I think he’d heard the Smother’s Brothers perform it, and my dad loves to perform. I think he took extreme delight in singing the woman’s part, and I do too. It’s on my CD, What Color […]
If I Were a Horse (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, early 90s I wrote this song in college. It wasn’t supposed to be any grand masterpiece, just a stupid, catchy song. For some strange reason, I added it to my CD, What Color Is Your Dragon?. If I were a horse and you were a mule, My heart would break all the […]
For the Setting Sun (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn This song started with a riff on the autoharp. When i had that down, I just started writing a stream of conscience song about a girl I had a crush on. It evolved into a bluesy song that I recorded for my CD, What Color Is Your Dragon?. Sometimes my empathy is […]
The Last Chicken in Dublin (Lyrics)
by Cara Chapel In 2007 and 2008, the Brobdingnagian Bards hosted a vacation tour of Ireland with their fans. During the first tour, we were in need of dinner on our first night of the tour. We stopped off in the only pub that still had a kitchen open. We ordered our food, and it […]
