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!"
