Joel Kleinhen emailed a photo: "I listen to your podcast while I walk on the NEWBURGH river trail in Newburgh Indiana. Love the show."

Ken Little emailed a few pictures: "hello marc aka the celt father, yes i am on my knees like the scene in waynes world. congrats on the show its going grand. I enjoy mostly all of it. celtic rock eh not so much. I probably lean more towards the trad as rock is rock just with different instrument- loud brash n in your face. great at venues not so much when I'm working.

I drive around all day in the old celtic countryside, listening to your podcast on a playback loop. 4/5 episodes all day. I am a multi drop delivery driver in suffolk england. think of queen boudica of the British celtic iceni tribe country. yup thats what i drive around in all day every day ik right wish we could all be that lucky lol

please find attached a few pix of some of the views i see. not much celticness as the romans destroyed pretty much all of it. but you do get a feel of it. just a slower pace of life sitting by the pond watching the world pass by. and thx again for the music, my ears appreciate it. my wallet from buying tracks eh not so much lol. till next time enjoy the day."
