Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Brian McReynolds emailed a photo: "Well, today while listening to the podcast, I was helping our local Sons of the American Revolution and Daughters of the American Revolution chapters to restore a Veterans Memorial at a local graveyard. We also cleaned up some of the grave markers for the veterans buried nearby. I got quite a few comments about the podcast. Hopefully some of them will look for it later." Nancy Wilson emailed: "I wish I had known you were going to be at Sherwood Forest Faire, I would have come back and had a chance to visit with you. I was there the first or second weekend, but I haven't made it back for another visit this spring. Allie Johnson of The Selkie Girls gave you and the podcast a big plug at the Texas Scottish Festival last weekend. We're always thankful for your support." Tina Manbeck emailed: "Hey, Marc, I just finishing promoting your podcast on my radio show. And, I put a Stubby Shillelaghs (featuring Marc Gunn) on the playlist. This note is not meant to be a plug for my show. It's to send a big THANK YOU for promoting the musicians, and introducing me to ones I haven't heard. I am able to buy their music, contact them for promo music, and broaden my, and my listeners', exposure to the music. Love the podcast, love the music, love the connectivity you foster. THANKS SO VERY MUCH! All my best" The Celtic Music Show Sundays, 8-10 PM Central Time KFMG-LP 98.9 FM Des Moines, Iowa U.S.A.
