What am I doing you ask?I'm sitting,I started doing some decorating this morning and stepped backwards off the step stool and landed in a basket full of boys toys!lol Luckilly our big dinner is Saturday." Peter Bengtson emailed: "Hi Mark, I'm on my fifth cycle of walking all the residential streets in my adjacent neighborhoods. It takes me about a month and a half to complete a cycle. After each cycle, I'll walk part of the bicycle (and walking) loop around Tucson. I'll do that for 2 or 3 weeks and then on to my sixth cycle of walking in neighborhoods. I'm always listening to music as I walk, I cycle between your Celtic music podcasts, Bluegrass music and Symphony Hall (on SiriusXM). Thanks for all you do to produce your Irish & Celtic Music Podcasts. I've got a couple of photos to share with you, but I couldn't get them inserted into this message. I'll try later today." Thomas Bondy emailed from Plymouth, Michigan: "Marc, Regarding the Kreelers "Sixth & Porter" that you've played a few times, I thought you'd dig the attached photos of the Irish workers rowhouse that currently stands near Sixth & Porter in Detroit's historic Corktown neighborhood and was presumably the inspiration for the song.
