Marc’s Musings: The Selkie Life
One of the things I love about Ireland and Scotland is the proximity to water. I love the ocean. I love swimming, diving, the sound of the crashing waves, the feel of the water. I love seafood. I love boats, the beach, and exploring tide pools. But I also love the stories. Enter this week’s […]
Marc’s Musings: Coffee with The Kickstarter
One the popular things to do in Austin during college was tubing. We could head down to San Marcos, climb into a tube, and leisurely drift down the river. I remember doing it only once during the 18 years I lived there. Yesterday, my family went Kayaking in a similar fashion. We headed up I-85 […]

Marc’s Musings: Sherwood Return, Livestreaming Bards, Sailor Songs
I can’t express how happy I am with the new Bandcamp Livestreaming. I had a show last Thursday. It was amazing. I usually spend 1-2 hours making sure that those who bought their tickets got the URL to watch the show. It was a lot of extra stress for me. I did have some minor […]
