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/

Joel Smith commented on Patreon: “That Lisa Schettner is really good. Had to go buy it on I tunes”

Kathleen McDermott emailed a photo: “I am writing “Grammagrams” to my grandchildren, whose house I can see 12 miles away across the Salt Lake Valley, though I cannot visit them in person. We were all set to go with them on a wonderful trip to Sligo and Dublin ….a month ago. So you know how that turned out!  Very sad to miss it, but your podcast makes me feel like I am there. A little.”

Davidejean Rose responded to the Arbor Day episode: “Planted one this past weekend and have an Ash Tree in a clear vase allowing to produce roots for planting soon as it grows a few roots…”

Tonda Scott emailed: “I have been a long time listener and enjoy your Podcast. This music touches my soul. Your Podcast is also my go to source when I need to unwind after a hectic day at work and very therapeutic for me. I am a Preparedness Nurse for our state public health department. So you can probably guess what I’m busy with right now. I can leave work mentally exhausted but after tuning in to this Podcast it’s like magic….I feel better. Thanks for the magic….keep up the good work.”

Pamela Jo Hatley emailed a photo: “I am taking apart my new banjo that the Hubby gave me for my 60th birthday. It's a 1964 Vega longneck, Pete Seeger model. Let's hope I can put it back together!”

Josephy emailed: “Hi, Mark! Listening to episode #457 while getting my office back into shape. It’s been some weeks stuck at home with my wife, daughters, niece, and mother-in-law. Listening to the podcast helps me stay on an even keel despite the unexpected family-time. Thanks for the welcome escape into great music!”
