What Color Is Your Dragon - Marc Gunn CD

This album started when I realized I have a LOT of songs recorded that are not yet available on full-length albums. I listened to many of them and realized most were filk songs. So I decided that would be the main focus of this album. I would compile a list of songs on a variety of Sci Fi/fantasy genres including: Lord of the Rings, Bugs Bunny, Firefly, Star Wars, Dr. Who, and Harry Potter. Added to that would be a few songs I wrote a long, long time ago (not necessarily in a galaxy far away) and a few new songs exploring new musical genres (blues, in particular). The result is my latest album available in August 2008--What Color Is Your Dragon?. The album features 17 tracks of fun music that one fan compared to the Brobdingnagian Bards chart-topping album, Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales. That is kind of appropriate because the first song on the album, "Dont Go Drinking With Hobbits" was inspired by real-life event that happened several years ago at DragonCon when I went out drinking with hobbits and by the end of the weekend was so sick I had no voice to sing with. "The Virgin Diet" was a song inspired by another song popularized by The Bards called "Do Virgins Taste Better Medley", as well as the fan-produced magazine that arose from that song, The Medieval Virgin. I get a lot of emails from fans with song lyrics. Now and then some songs really stand out and I record them. "The Nazgul Song" and "The Lusty Young Sith" were written by fans who decided to parody songs played by Brobdingnagian Bards. The lyrics made me smile so much, I decided they had to be recorded. Nevertheless, What Color Is You Dragon? has taken on a life of its own as I dug into my experience to write most of these songs about some of my favorite Sci Fi and fantasy fandoms. This was a wonderful way to share my love of those fandoms in song. I am happy to share this album with you. Oh! A special thanks to Nikki OShea, the Bards Comic artist, who beautifully designed the CD cover. I hope you enjoy the new album.Additional Info: Personnel: Stan Kenton (guitar); Sal Salvador (guitar); Vinnie Dean (alto saxophone); Richie Kamuca, Bill Holman (tenor saxophone); Bob Gioga (baritone saxophone); Ruban McFall, Buddy Childers (trumpet); Keith Moon , George Roberts , Bob Burgess , Bill Russo (trombone); Stan Levey (drums).
