Hi Marc, I am an ex merchant seaman(british) and of course was brought up on the stuff that you do, having spent mant years around the irish ports, Im 64 and this year I decided to write a few songs about my own experiences at sea, I wondered if you would consider having a look to see if you like any of them,I am very new to this business and this is probably the wrong way to do it but if youlike I can send a rough cd with words and guitar chords for you to check out thanks anyway....albert thompson

Great for car singing
author: Derek Parks
If you're easily embarrassed you probably shouldn't buy this album because when the people in the cars next to me see me screaming at the top of my lungs along with this CD, they give me strange looks.

Great Rendtions of old favorites!
author: Andy L.
Marc has put together another great collection of songs. Although I own at least one other version of nearly all of these songs, in part thanks to my membership in Songhenge, Marc's versions are quickly becoming my favorites. His blend of humor and variant lyrics make these songs fun to listen to again and again. Even if you've never heard any of Marc's other albums or his work from the Brobdingnagian Bards I strongly recommend this album. If you own everything he's ever recorded then you're trying to decide, buy this album. If you hate Celtic and Irish music I have no idea why you're reading this, but support a working, independent musician and BUY THIS ALBUM!

Great Familiar and New Song Mix
author: Lincoln Crisler, http://lincolncrisler.com
I've been a fan of Marc's music, solo and with the Bards, for the last couple years. I've heard a good amount of Celtic and Folk music since then (the Bards got me into it) and I love hearing Marc's interpretation of songs I've heard elsewhere first.
There are a good number of familiar songs on here (Mermaid Song, Whiskey in the Jar) as well as several songs I've never encountered before. He performs all of them well, and this disc will see regular rotation in my car on road trips and drives to work.
