I just found your podcast and binged four episodes yesterday while building a chicken coop for the chicks that my wife randomly came home with.

Anyway, I play in a new band called River Driver -  www.riverdrivermusic.com and we would love to send you our debut EP that just came out last week. It's headed to streaming platforms but I can share audio files with you for you to use if you choose. Cheers!"

Alas, now back to reality in Huntsville, Alabama."

Sarah Minick emailed: "Hi Marc. I live in southwest Virginia and take a daily hour hike in the mountains. We have lots of black bears here and so far no bad encounters. I actually love the bears, but I always want to be sure I don't startle one. So I walk with your podcast singing out loud.

What could be better than a celtic music hike with my beloved little dog, sunshine, blue skies, mountains, and wildlife...including bears?

Love the podcast. Keep up the great work! Many thanks,"

woodland folk emailed a couple photos and this sound of a fox: "This world is a gift my friend...."

Shel O'Toole emailed: "Hi Marc,

I spent 5 months wandering around Ireland back in 1998.

I loved Glendalough in County Wicklow.  It’s so picturesque and there is some great walking in the area.

I also enjoyed walking around Tralee toward Dingle.  I didn’t get to Dingle but rambled across low hills through sheep filled paddocks.

I did get to Mayo and of course visited Matt Molloy’s pub in Westport where I was mistaken for Dolores Keane.   That was such a hoot and the look on the faces of the two men who were trying to determine if I was indeed “herself” when I said g’day in my broadest Aussie accent was priceless.

One of the guys I went to Irish World Music School with had a salmon farm near Westport.  That was 25 years ago so who knows if he’s still there.  He was a flautist so if you’re at a session you may run into him.

Malin Head was a gorgeous place to visit, especially Raised Beach where you can scoop up semi - precious stones that have been worn smooth by being tumbled in the waves for years.

The only place I visited in Ireland I did not fall in love with was Derry.

I look forward to your stories from your immersion in Mayo.
