Peter Bengtson emailed: "Hi Mark, The mornings have been too cold for me to walk before breakfast. I've taken to having breakfast and waiting for the temperature to rise a bit. I've enjoyed the walks with no wind and warmer weather.
My air pods and smart phone are working fine so I'm listening to your podcasts. Thanks for posting new ones weekly.
I've been watching various remodeling projects and water features installed in peoples front yards."
Leonard L. Streeper emailed a photo: "Dear Mr. Gunn, I love your show and thank you so much for bringing me music that I love. My only criticism is you weren't around in the late 80s when I fell in love with this genre of music and records were as rare as unicorns.
I like to write fantasy books while listening. The music helps keep me in the mindset while covering up the sounds of the modern world.
Once again, thank you so much for all you do. Sincerely,"
Fabio Fiorelli emailed: "Hi Mark! In one of your episodes I think you were looking at irish and celtic italian bands. I'd like to promote a band from my hometown, called "Whisky Trail". They are extremely genuine, even studying how the history of Florence intersects with that of the Irish"

1:37:33 - RELAUNCHING REVIEWS OF CELTIC BANDS
The Irish & Celtic Music Magazine was quite a bit different when it started. I used to feature a lot of Celtic music reviews for bands. Unfortunately, it got both expensive and difficult to manage.
This year, I relaunched the features of Celtic bands, not because of the magazine, but because I wanted to help out Celtic musicians in our community. I’m so happy I did. But I could still use your support to keep it going.

BUY SELCOUTH BY MARC GUNN
My latest CD features Sci F’Irish music. That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album. But mostly, it features songwriting by Marc Gunn with guests including: Screeched Inn, The Muckers, Jamie Haeuser, Sam Gillogly, Nathan Deese, and Mikey Mason.
Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.”
The album is not completely Celtic and it’s not just science fiction and fantasy. It’s a fusion of the two. It’s heartfelt and a lot of fun.
It’s now on sale in my Bandcamp store. Check out Selcouth now.
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/
