Monday, July 28, 2008Watching Outside the Window Please add "marc@thebards.net" to your whitelist or email address book, so that you have no trouble receiving future issues! Hey! It's Tiziano. I love windows. It's better than TV. There's so many wonderful things outside to see. While I love atching bugs, birds and anything else that I think Daddy might be proud to see I caught, sometimes I just want to watch the world change. I think it is sort of like when humans stop to smell the roses. I like to stand in front of the sliding glass door or on a windowsill and watch the world go by, take a nap, wake up, and watch some more. All the while I can bask in the warm sun, complete with the happy knowledge that it will be there when I awake from my next nap. "What outrageous FUN! The music and lyrics definitely tickle the funny bones of anyone who is a fan of celtic music and felines. Marc, your music is a must have for all! Please keep entertaining us with your wonderful talents!" Meanwhile, Daddy has a few CD Release parties for the album. He should be done with two in Louisiana by now. This week, there's a big one at the Cactus Cafe in Austin with his friend Cedric of the Bedlam Bards, and then he's going to Fort Worth for another CD Release. After that, I think we can finally have Daddy back home for a while. I miss him. He's only been gone for a few days. I can't wait for him to come back home. Torre gets a little overbreaing whenever Daddy leaves. Mew! I hear that Daddy is almost out of the Celtic Cat Wooden Mugs. So this might be your last chance to get one. Daddy hasn't decided if he's going to reprint the mugs yet. Mew, Mew! The new CD cover is now on T-shirts at Cafepress. See Marc Gunn's CD Release Parties Adopt a To Love Is Human. To Purr Divine T-Shirt! If you know of a radio station in your area that might enjoy hearing our songs, please send us the station's snail mail address, as well as the folk music DJ or the novelty music DJ's name. We will send something along to them. Keep telling your feline friends. To love is human. To purr, divine. Mew! 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.

Tuesday, July 15, 2008Purrfect Celtic Music CD For Cat Lovers Released By Marc Gunn and The Dubliners' Tabby Cats Award-winning Celtic Musician and Cat Loving Fans Collaborate on Second Cat Parody CD Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 15, 2008 -- Lovers of cats, Celtic songs and music in general can rejoice in a beautifully-produced CD by Austin-based independent musician Marc Gunn. Collaborating with producer Rich Brotherton, Gunn's newest CD features 12 songs about cats and all their idiosyncrasies. The soul of the album is Gunn's uncanny ability to take traditional Irish songs and spin them to celebrate the cat. A long time cat lover, the songwriter is adept at giving us a "cat's eye" perspective of such classic tunes as "Molly Malone," "Danny Boy," and "What Shall We Do With a Catnipped Kitty." The first cat parody album, "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers," was wildly popular. According to Gunn, "I never imagined people would love this concept as much as they did. I just did it, because I love Celtic music, and I love cats." Collaborating musicians include: Rich Brotherton, James "Cedric" Hazelrig, Christopher Bucklely, Bethany Duke, Michelle Hedden, Vicky Swan, Jonny Dyer, Hannah Gunn, Tom Smith, Ari Koinuma, Ben Hamby, Blake McCaig, Franco Bordoni. # # # Labels: press

Tuesday, May 13, 2008Human Frustration Please add "marc@thebards.net" to your whitelist or email address book, so that you have no trouble receiving future issues! I just DON'T understand humans sometimes. I tell Marc over and over again what I want, and he doesn't listen! And then, when I do something that he doesn't like and that I told him I was gonna do if he didn't change, he gets angry. What's up with that?! Tonight was one of those occasions. I told Marc time and time again that I don't like the new pine pellet cat litter. It just doesn't appeal to me. I can't clean up after myself, and it's too slow to asorb. So I peed on his old leather chair. I told him I would if he didn't get me better litter. I did. And he was upset about it. So!?! It's not like I didn't tell you. I DID! There has to be an easier way to communicate. This meowing stuff only goes so far. I can barely get Marc to let me out on the porch, let alone get me a decent litter. Any cat out there have a good suggestion so I don't have to smack my human with clue-by-four? "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." FRUSTRATION AND WHISKERS Oh and he did not spray it on the new Celtic Cat T-Shirts. That's good. Boy, do those shirts look sharp! I should make Marc wear a shirt every day as penance for not listening to me! Don't forget to download and share "Molly Malone... The Cat's Perspective/Planxty Hewlett" if you haven't yet. Adopt music from us: Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers and Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lovers Companion Adopt a To Love Is Human. To Purr Divine T-Shirt! SEND YOUR FRIENDS WHISKER NEWS Well, now that "Whiskers in the Jar" is done. It is time to start promoting it. If you haven't told a friend about the CD, what the mreow are you waiting for?! Go email three friends right now. Tell them their love cats is dependent on them owning this CD. They have no choice! Then when you're done, go watch "An Engineer's Guide to Cats" on YouTube. Marc seemed to like it. But boy do those humans not understand us. Uh oh! I feel the frustration creeping on again. Time to attack Tiziano. To love is human. To purr is divine. Mreow! 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.
