Marc's Musings Greetings <:firstname:>, Happy New Years! I had a nice holiday. Lots o'cool gifts and now I'm off visiting family in Virginia and booked a special engagement. HOUSE CONCERT IN DELAWARE Sorry for the last minute notice, but I was able to score a wee venue while I'm visiting family on the East Coast. Date: Saturday, January 14, 2006 I don't play music solo that often, so this is a great chance to hear some of my music and also hear the elusive kitty songs. There'll be a nice mix of cats and Celtic music. VOTE IN THE AUSTIN MUSIC POLL Okay, this is a huge deal. Every year, Andrew and I are up for awards in the Austin's annual music poll. Remember, Austin bills itself as the Live Music Capitol of the World so placing in this competition is not easy. Yet, for the past few years we've done better and better. In fact, last year, the Brobdingnagian Bards won Best Novelty Band and I won Best Album Cover. Despite our success, we still didn't reach my goals. I want to win Best Folk Band. For the past two years, we were #2 for Best Folk Band. I really think this year, we can win. Plus, there are many other awards that are up. The Dubliners Tabby Cats for Best New Band. Ari Koinuma for Best Producer. Ingrid Houwers for Best CD Cover. In order to win we need your votes! If you like the music we create, please vote for us. You can go to thebards.net/links/Austin_Chronicle_Poll.shtml where you will find some suggestions on what to vote for you. Vote. And then go find another fan and tell them to vote as well. All we need is a wee bit o'help and we will sweep the awards. Thanks a million and I hope you have a brilliant new year! --- Drop me a line and say, "mreow!" Slainte!
Marc's Lyrics & Poetry Mrs. Molly the Cat A submission for my next CD of Irish songs about cats. This one is pretty amusing, though I've no idea how I'd be able to enunciate all those fst, rowr, hacks. In a dank, dark back alley ---
