Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Dear Marc, I am loving #500. I've been with you since around 300 and I think you are doing a great job of introducing me to wonderful bands and songs.

More rollicking jigs and reels.

I work with words while I listen. So I love the instrumentals the most. Once upon a time you did an ALL INSTRUMENTAL show... Loved it.

Have you ever found David Clausen from a band called Celtic Stone. He is in Austin TX but does not respond to email."

Donna DeMilo emailed a photo: "Congratulations on your 500th Mark !!  I LOVE CLOVER'S REVENGE!! Slainte!!"

Sean Malloy emailed: "Hi Marc, Thank you so much for buying our Band O’Brothers album from Bandcamp! I’m so pleased to imagine you listening to some of our songs after we’ve spent so many glad hours listening to yours!! I’m working on putting the promised song stories together for you - I’ll send something your way within a couple days. Thanks again, and sláinte!!!! Sean"

Dillon Dise from Westfield, NY emailed a photo from 498: "I've been listening to the podcast for a couple years, but haven't yet emailed a picture of what I'm doing while listening, so here ya go.  I prune vineyards through the winter in the rain, sun, wind and snow.  This season I have already cut back over 6,000 individual vines.   As the Celtic Spring comes on strong the smell of life is in the air, the snow is melting and the ice breaking up.  At the top of the hill I look out onto Lake Erie, so the Sea Shanties episode was most appropriate in getting me excited to be back out on the water.  Thanks for all the great tunes!"
