The New Music Business Has No Use for CDs

DragonCon was a pretty incredible, for many reasons. One of which was to see the changing landscape of the music business.

Marc Gunn’s Story… How It All Began

In 1999, Brobdingnagian Bards released our first album. It was called Marked By Great Size. Like all new musicians, we thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.
