Happy St Patrick's Day + a Poll (Patreon)

Good morning and Happy St Patrick's Day to you!

Four shows down. One more to go. And I made it through the four hour show at The Wings Cafe & Tap House last night.

Four hour shows are not my favorite. It's not that I can't do them. I can and did. But in the last 20 minutes Gwen was in the audience pointing at her face and smiling, one time calling out "Marc", to bring me back into focus. It sort of reminds me of the walk she and I took yesterday.

We walked for an hour and a half. That's the longest walk I've taken since I had hip surgery. At the start, I was racing. I had to slow down for her. By the end, our roles were reversed. She was walking at top speed and I was struggling to keep up.

That's how it felt at the gig. I start off strong. A few breaks in between sets of varied length, I'm ready for the next set. But by the end... I struggled to maintain focus.

Tonight will easier. It's only three hours. I have a great three hour set. :)

The show is at The Wings Cafe & Tap House in Marietta, Georgia. They have a GREAT beer selection.

Celtic Heartstring Poll

These are my latest Celtic Heartstrings. If you note the necklace bands, there's the Silver colored Rhodium necklace. And there's the Black Leather Necklace Cord.

Which would you prefer to wear if you owned (or own) one?

I'm trying to get an idea if one or the other is better. Feel free to post additional thoughts in the comments.

Right now, the necklaces are only available at shows.

HOWEVER, if you are interested in buying one. My Celtic Heartstrings, made from the broken strings of my heart... I mean autoharp, can be purchased here.

They sell for $40. They come with your pick of two digital albums. Email me for details to order. First come, first served. :)

I hope you have a great St Patrick's Day! And make sure you check out the latest Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.

Oh! And welcome to the new members!
