Weeklies: I Fed 100 Animals Last Month
My mind is in Italy right now. I’m not sure what got me started, but I’m jonesing for a trip. Italy is my home away from home. I graduated from high school in Vicenza. Now I have a bunch of wild and crazy ideas for bringing people to Italy and seeing places I know and […]
Unloading DVDs, Gourds, and Other Stuff
I updated my Merch page with a bunch of used DVDs I don’t want any more. Please take them off my hand. There’s also a gourd, leather pouch and more. Originally published at Marc Gunn .com. Read. Interact. Breathe. It’s easy; it’s free.
How Do You Relax?
I love my life as an independent musician. It’s not glamorous. I’m not raking in cash, rather just staying afloat. However, I still feel like recently I’ve been in a rut. It’s from sitting in front of the computer too much. I love interacting with people online, but sometimes it gets to be too tiring. […]
What Color Is Your Dragon? Now On Sale at CD Baby
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 […]

What Color Is Your Own Podcast? Getting an Eternal Membership to DragonCon

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 […]
