TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. Email a voicemail message to [email protected] Deedra Winey emailed: "Good podcast!Happy Thanksgiving! 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.
