Weeklies: New Single, Celtic PodFest, Internet Concert (Patreon)

Greetings Gunn Runners

Today’s the day for the Irish & Celtic Music PodFest and Arts Market at The Lost Druid Brewery in Avondale Estates, Ga. I hope you can make it even though it looks like a rainy day…

I used to share poems to my newsletter all of the time. But that was, wow, 15 years ago!?

I found this old one. I have no clue when it was written. I also don’t know that there’s anything to do with it. But I thought I’d share it.

Do You Love Me?

Do you love me

  He said, sitting all along

  While you lay in bed alone

  Yourself

I can’t tell

  He said, listening to the birds

  That flew away from the

  Porch without a care

This is me

  He said, with so many flaws

  Trying to find a way

  To fit in

But it’s no use

  He said, a bird is just a bird

  Whether its feathers ruffle

  Here or there.

OH! And Mark your calendars. Looks like I am booked at Georgia Renaissance Festival May 9-31!

QUESTION OF THE DAY

POLL: Whatcha doin’?

My projects and upcoming events:

INTERNET CONCERT ON THURSDAY. We’re celebrating St Patrick’s Day with an internet music party. It’s scheduled for this Thurs, March 12 on Bandcamp. It is FREE to watch, but there is a suggested donation of $15. That helps keep these shows running. RSVP on Bandcamp.

LISTEN TO MAY WILL BLOOM. My daughter and I have a new recording together. It’s a new take on “I’ll Tell My Ma” with Inara on lead vocals and me on all the instruments. Inara’s voice sounds so mature. Follow the May Will Bloom blog. You can listen in this week’s Pub Songs & Stories podcast.

PUB SONGS & STORIES. Irish Millie is wasted. The Brobdingnagian Bards are in love… with alcohol. And the Gothard Sisters will send you down the road with a smile. Every song has a story worth telling. We've got the full spectrum from rowdy to reverent. Pull up a stool. Music from May Will Bloom, Brobdingnagian Bards, Rogue Diplomats, Irish Millie, The Gothard Sisters.  The show comes out tomorrow evening. Follow Pub Songs & Stories.

PATRONAGE HAS ITS PERKS

Thank you. Truly.

This kind of work… writing songs, telling stories, and sometimes saying the uncomfortable things out loud… only happens because a community stands behind it.

Patreon is my open workshop. New songs in progress. Early podcasts. Experiments. Risky ideas before they’re ready for the world. It’s where the speaking-out starts first.

Your support doesn’t just fund music. It funds the freedom to keep making it. To try new things. To take risks. To refuse silence.

If something I’ve made has ever made you feel seen, amused, inspired, or less alone, I’d love to welcome you into the Gunn Runners Club. Even a few dollars a month keeps the songs — and the voice behind them — moving forward.

And to everyone already there, you have my deep gratitude. You’re the quiet force behind everything I do.
