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. 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/

Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Marc:

I love to podcast.
I love the long instrumental sets.
Rollicking jigs and reels...
in #505, Mary's Jib is my favorite.

Truth be told, after I listen, I take hte podcast into adobe Audition and carve it up so I can listen to the instrumentals without talk, since I write while listening and words from the music get in the way.

Please give us more of your all instrumental sets!

My only advice - change up your patter.

I have been listening since hte mid 300's and your opening patter has never changed. Give it a rest. I know your opening spiel by heart. Say something new. Something new for each opening. "
