Marc Gunn, Guest of Honor, at I-Con Sci Fi Convention in New York in 2010
2002 was the first time I ever went to a science fiction convention. That Sci Fi convention was I-Con. The first year, I felt like I was home. I made some amazing friends. I laughed and sang. I think it even snowed that first year. I can’t imagine not being at I-Con. So I did […]
Marc Weeklies: Whoops! And Bonne Annee!
Marc is still out of town, and I am a week late in publishing this edition of the “Weeklies!” (Shush – don’t tell him.) I did have a family medical emergency last week – really, I did. But we had a lovely Christmas anyway, and I hope your holiday celebration was just as wonderful. Some […]

Pleasant Peasant Pheasant Plucking Song (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, June 16, 2003 A few days ago I got a reminder email. A woman had emailed me “a year and a day ago” about how she heard a fun song called “The Pheasant Plucking Song”. She thought it’d be cool for us to have a “Pleasant Peasant Pheasant Plucking Song”. Okay, I […]
Marc Weeklies: Give “The Bridge” for Christmas
It’s here! It’s here! “The Bridge” has arrived! Every time I release a new CD I get excited. But something about this album is extra special. Maybe it’s the fact that I hand-painted the album cover myself… and love the look of it. Or maybe it has one of the most mature sounds I’ve ever […]

Marc Weeklies: Thoughts of a Happy Celtic Christmas… With A New CD
I’ve had Christmas songs stuck in my head all morning. I know it seems way to early to be thinking about Christmas, but running my own music business I tend to think ahead. That’s why I’m in the planning stages for my Celtic Christmas Podcast (coming soon). I was even practicing my “Celtic Christmas Elf […]
Marc Weeklies: Band Naming Contest and the Vampire Ball
Wow! The Vampire Ball was amazing fun. And it occurred to me that I didn’t tell you enough about it. For instance, did you know I created a band for the ball? Yup. Samantha Gillogly came down from Boston to play fiddle with the group. And one of my best friends, Jamie Haeuser, rocked the […]
Marc Weeklies: Review Happy Songs of Death on iTunes
I just got back from MileHiCon in Denver, Colorado where I was the Musical Guest of Honor. How cool is that! Everyone up there was so warm and welcoming despite the wee bit o’snow that fluttered down to my heart’s delight. The shows went well and the other guests were a total delight. MileHiCon is […]
