Today's show title mentions Shanties. But this is NOT an episode of sea shanties. Yes. There are a couple. And there's also a band called The Shanties. But if you want actual sea shanties, check out episode #414 of the podcast. In that show, we break down some of the traditional sea shanties you will find.

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 Celtic musicians. 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.

woodland folk emailed photos: "Listening and drifting. Always good company...#,-)"

James Martin emailed: "Hey Marc, not sure if you're helping to share musicians streaming or not, but there's a guy up in Seattle who streams music for 2 hours on Saturday evenings (7:30 to 9:30 pst) if anyone is looking for an Irish Music Fix on the weekends. He's on Facebook under "That Irish Guy". I can across him randomly and thought I'd share!"

Daniel Flowerdew emailed a question: "Hello ?? first I wanted to say I have been listening to your podcast since the early 2000's. I have always enjoyed it and have found a ton of great music through it!

One of which I am trying to find! I wanted to contact you to see if you could help. It was maaaaaaany years ago.

I believe it was something like "Wandering Mary" ?

It was about a woman that waited by the shore for her William, eventually joined a ship crew, found him cheating on her so she shot him and then became a pirate.

Maybe "Dreaded Mary" ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for all of the great tunes and humor throughout the years."

I don't really have time to help people find songs. But I threw out a few suggestions and eventually figured out he was looking for "Devilish Mary" by The Whiskey Bards. That was in episode #40 from 2007.

If there is a song you're looking for, you should definitely check out the Irish & Celtic Music Club on Facebook. It's a great resource for finding more Celtic music. And there are a lot of listeners who are a part of the group.
