Greetings Gunn Runner I’m sure everyone north of Alabama dug their heals into the ground to prepare for Snowzilla. However, my family loves snow. And we love a good adventure. So on Saturday, we drove up I-65 to Columbia, Tennessee. We stopped at a hardware store and bought some trash can lids. Then we drove […]

What Should I Call a Best of Marc Gunn Compilation?
I’m working on a new compilation CD. You could call it a Best of Marc Gunn, but it’s not really. And I don’t think. Rather, the album features one track from each of the 20 solo albums I’ve released since I released Soul of a Harper in 2005. I tried to pick some of my most-popular recordings […]

Will Ye Turn, Lassie, Turn
Lyrics by Shannon Creamer, music Francis McPeake Shannon did it again. Last year, she filked the filk, “Do Virgins Taste Better” and turned it into a pirate song for my upcoming album Dragons vs. Pirates. Now she’s turned “Wild Mountain Thyme” into a song about undead. Will the madness ever stop!? Oh, the twilight is upon […]
