Glimpse of Galician Celtic Music
Greetings
Welcome to all the new subscribers of the podcast and magazine, and thanks also to those of you who've been with me for so many years. Can you believe I've been publishing this newsletter since 2000? It's hard for me to imagine, but I wouldn't do it if you weren't such a regular reader. So thank you!
May is a big month for me. I'm calling it the Baby Watch Month, because my second daughter, Inara, is due on May 15th. I will spend most of the month at home, aside from one gig in Georgia. In fact, I have two Concert Window performances planned. The first is this Sunday at 7:30 PM. The second one I hope to introduce my daughter to the world. It's all extremely exciting. I'd love to have you join me on our journey. You can read updates in my blog at marcgunn.com.
I want to ask one more small thing before we get on with the news this week. Would you do me a favor and answer this one question survey? It will only take a moment and will help me to serve you better.
Thanks a million for all your support of indie Celtic music.
Slainte!
Marc Gunn, The Celtfather
