Dear Cat Lover,

I hope you had a a happy Meowlantines!

Marc had a CD release party at Things Celtic for his new album, A Tribute to Love, on Valentine's Day. While he was singing love songs, I arranged my part for the new "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers" CD.

We started recording the album last week. Marc came home from the recording studio with some amazing recordings done with Celtic producer Rich Brotherton. Half the album is now recorded.

I must admit I'm a little frustrated though. It is MY band, and Marc won't let me go into the studio. I nipped him for that when he came home last night. But I don't think he understood why I nipped him. Humans are so dense sometimes!

Well at least he's recording us at home. There's a big solo he wants me to be a part of on "When the Dairy Farm Caught Fire". I will yowl like nobody's business! You will hear me above all the other meowers on this song. Because it is MY album afterall. I think I deserve to be loudest on it!

"So many good songs it's hard to pick a favorite! Good humor and excellent music. "A Cat Named Rover" rates high. As a dyed in the fur cat lover and Celtic music fan, this album was irresistible! I am currently owned by 7.5 cats. (The half cat belongs to my neighbor, but she(the cat) visits a lot.) Cat #7 has her own apartment in my garage. She is not socialized, so the only way I can see her is with a network observation camera. Cats 1-6 live in my house. Thanks, Marc, for the perfect album for a Cat and Celtic fanatic."

-Torre Gunn, manager, meower of The Dubliners' Tabby Cats

TnT are two tabby cat brothers who own a simple-minded human named Marc Gunn, who plays music, writes poetry, and isn't too shabby a photographer. The main reason they bother to keep him around is because he entertains them now and then and isn't too hard to take care of. They all perform together with The Dubliners' Tabby Cats.
