Dave Ottalini emailed from Silver Spring, Maryland: “Just dropping a note to say thank you. Your podcasts are wonderful and I listen to them all the time – they bring joy at all times of the year.”
Shawn Webster emailed a photo: “Greetings! Today I’m patching a concrete floor following a sewer line repair! The podcast makes this work much more tolerable. Thank you for another great episode.”
Christopher Patrick of the band FitzBlarney emailed some Christmas photos from Salem, Massachusetts and wrote: “Hello, Mark! Wanted to share! For Christmas this year I FINALLY got my Bluetooth receiver for my car! This means I can now start my day listening to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast on my daily commute! My commute to work being only 20 to 30 minutes, I get to travel home listening to it too!
I have just finished listening to your Celtic – Christmas episode, and was very impressed with the tunes – especially the creative arrangements. These gave me so many ideas for future arrangements with my Celtic Music band, FitzBlarney.
We actually began as an ‘Acoustic – Celtic Christmas’ trio, (comprised of myself and my two sisters.) Since then, we have taken on my brother and brother – in – law, and also play non – Christmas, Irish/Celtic music.
In fact, this past December, we were asked to play at the Historic Salem ‘House Tour.”
In essence, people with historic houses open them up to the public to walk through and see their Christmas displays. Musicians, ( like ourselves, ) set – up and create some Christmassy background music. This year, we were playing in the chapel of St. Peter’s Church, (founded in 1733!)
We also did our “Acoustic Brunch,” at O’Neill’s Pub, also in Salem, MA. (I have attached a couple’ pictures for you!)
Thank you again for all you do! My commutes sound great now!”
