I am thrilled to announce the release of my fourth new CD of 2008–What Color Is Your Dragon? is now on CD Baby. This album represents something different, especially to FuMPers like Worm Quartet. Why? I cover a LOT of different folk songs and filks on this CD and none of them have to do […]

Strange Turn of Events. DragonCon Officially Confirmed
I just got a call from Andrew who heard from the Con Director. Brobdingnagian Bards are now officially confirmed for DragonCon. How this happened, I’m still in a daze and unsure. But I’m told we are official, and we will be on the Filk Track. We should be up on the website in a couple […]
What Color Is Your Own Podcast? Getting an Eternal Membership to DragonCon
I love DragonCon. Knowing now that I might not get invited back as a guest and get a guest membership pass, I decided I really, really want an Eternal Membership badge. The problem is that it costs $750! So I decided I’m gonna try and raise the money for an Eternal Membership badge. At first, […]
Whiskers Releases Come to an End. And Dragons?
I got back from the last of my Whiskers in the Jar CD release house concerts. This final edition of the Whiskers Tours took place in Watauga, TX, just outside of Fort Worth. The show went smooth and was a ton of fun. Thanks to Raenell for putting this on. I must say, I like […]
Real Men Wear Kilts Update
So we’ve had a LOT of questions about when the Brobdingnagian Bards’ next CD, Real Men Wear Kilts would be released. It’s been a big question for everyone. We just haven’t made any progress on the album in about a year. Today, we finally sat down to see what was left to record. Right now, […]
How to Run a Renaissance Festival Record Label
I’m listening to something I found on iTunes U, a service that brings college courses for free download. It’s called The Folkways Collection. This actually doesn’t sound like a university course, but as a documentary on the Folkways record label. It is fascinating. Folkways was a record label found in 1948. It featured recordings that […]
The Chuck Norris of Renaissance Festival Musicians
This email came to me today from Modern Bard: Hi Marc, So I’ve been updating Modern Bard for the past two days now and I’ve noticed something. You sir, are the Chuck Norris of Renaissance Festival Musicians. Not including compilation CDs, you have released 34 recordings (that I’ve counted so far), making you the most […]
Life Is a Vacation, Cont…
I should elaborate on my Life Is Just a Vacation post that “If Life was The Vacation, and Death was just a temp job. What would your last thoughts be before you died?” It’s not easy answering that question. For me, “I’m glad I became a musician” is a nice last thought, but I don’t […]
Marc Gunn on Twitter
I broke down and signed up on Twitter at http://twitter.com/marc_gunn. I shouldn’t have, but someone made a good point that it could be really useful when we’re wandering around DragonCon trying to setup a show. I can always Twitter where we’re at and let folks know. One of the many uses. So if you want […]
Life Is Just a Vacation
I was watching an episode of Dead Like Me called “Vacation”. I love the show. It raises all kinds of interesting philosophical questions. Here’s one to think about… Imagine that Life was The Vacation, and Death was just a temp job. What would your last thoughts be before you died? Originally published at Marc Gunn […]
