ATTN Celtic Musicians. I’m looking for some good stories to share. You see, I also host the Pub Songs Podcast. I started sharing stories from musicians about their songs. I’d like to do more of those. So if you have a story that you’d like to share about a song, from a gig, or maybe even just a piece of Celtic history that you love. Drop me an email at [email protected]. Put “Pub Story” in the show subject. Tell me about your story. Maybe I’ll ask you to record your story for the show.

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Brian McReynolds emailed a photo: "Well, today while listening to the podcast, I was helping our local Sons of the American Revolution and Daughters of the American Revolution chapters to restore a Veterans Memorial at a local graveyard.  We also cleaned up some of the grave markers for the veterans buried nearby.

I got quite a few comments about the podcast. Hopefully some of them will look for it later."

Nancy Wilson emailed: "I wish I had known you were going to be at Sherwood Forest Faire, I would have come back and had a chance to visit with you.  I was there the first or second weekend, but I haven’t made it back for another visit this spring. Allie Johnson of The Selkie Girls gave you and the podcast a big plug at the Texas Scottish Festival last weekend. We’re always thankful for your support."

Tina Manbeck emailed: "Hey, Marc, I just finishing promoting your podcast on my radio show.  And, I put a Stubby Shillelaghs (featuring Marc Gunn) on the playlist.

This note is not meant to be a plug for my show.  It's to send a big THANK YOU for promoting the musicians, and introducing me to ones I haven't heard.  I am able to buy their music, contact them for promo music, and broaden my, and my listeners', exposure to the music.

Love the podcast, love the music, love the connectivity you foster.  THANKS SO VERY MUCH! All my best"
