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)

The Nazgul Song (Lyrics, parody “The Unicorn Song”)
by Michael Donley “The Unicorn Song” was originally written by Shel Silverstein. It had a sad ending that I didn’t like. So I convinced Andrew to change the ending. When the Brobdingnagian Bards recorded the song, it became one of our most-popular performances. That’s when our friend Michael Donley filked it using the Lord of […]
DragonCon 2008
This was, strangely enough, one of my most-fun years at DragonCon. I think it had a to do with the fact that Brobdingnagian Bards were such late additions. We were accepted only two weeks before the show opened. However, Andrew and I already decided we would attend the con nonetheless. We expected it to be […]
Ren Fest Awards Update
Yes. You WILL notice there are some missing categories this year in the Renaissance Festival Awards. I cut down some of them due to time constraints and redundancy. I could probably cut out a couple more, but should’ve spent more time thinking about what else to cut before starting voting. Oh well… In any case, […]
