I was just looking for the date for this year's bodhran festival and your blog came up first, I was thrilled to see that I knew you! In case you don't remember, I met you one of the mad Willie festival nights at the Crosses of Annagh! Great photos! I met a character the other night who said I could have his wee house on Inis Oirr for the festival because he won't be there! Hope the date suits me. Looking forward to learning the darn thing instead of just looking at it! Have missed Elaine every time she's come to Dublin. See you on the Auld Sod someday again I'm sure, aloha and gra until then, Saundra |

| 12th December 2007 Laura Glasner | Thanks for documenting a phenomenal show! - From: Gráda comes back to Rochester! Jess, I'm a friend of your Mom's. I was at the concert and was totally blown away by Grada. When I went on line after the show, I looked them up on youtube, and the first video I saw was yours! Your Mom had just told me about your website, so I thought it was quite the coincidence. they are remarkable musicians, and it is just so exciting, thrilling even, to experience the creative way they approach the music, while being true to their traditional roots- we have a particular love of Irish music, as my sister is a wonderful fiddler, and our daughter is a step dancer. I look forward to future opportunities to hear Grada. thanks again- Laura |

| 3rd October 2006 craig | ok - From: Barktober Fest ok ok I will be there next year....tooo much fun! |
| 1st October 2006 Rhodri | 2nd time lucky.... - From: yep... tired I'm sitting here in rainy Wales, currenlty in a daze of thought about how much I need too travel! Saved up all the money when I finished high school and was let down by all my mates, so bought a fast car instead, good but the wrong choice looking back. Anyhow cut to the chase, in 18 months I have over $18k of work shares that I've been paying into over the years, that I finally decided enough is enough......travel I will even if I must go solo. ( I'm not the best for major change, but once there I'm happy as Larry ). Like yourself I'm a keen and have a eye for photos, I've been published a few times but living by Holyhead ( you might know it as it's the port for Ireland ) the whole thing got a little stale and I need to see new things for my best work. ( what camera did you opt for? (d)slr or a Point and Shoot, as I'm in two minds as to carry a whole load of lenses or just get the top end P+S and enjoy it more? Sorry for the ramble that turned into, I only really wanted to say thank you for your blog as it's just made me depressed about being stuck in a dead end job that I hate for the next 18 months :) On a serious note, really thanks for your blog it's nice seeing other people's travels. My 'dream' travel is a few weeks doing all the major Europe sites but not as a tourist ( best pictures are the ones off the beaten ) and then for my lives dream of hitting New England for fall, then try and get some work in Colorado ( my Cousins both worked there for a few years, one ended up marrying the Aussie Snowboarding champ! ) for the winter, or possibly Lake Louise/Banff. Second part of the dream is hitting New York for Christmas. After that, who knows.. Thanks Rhodri Baker rhodri@rhodribaker.com |

Mike(yet another bodhran player) |
| 11th September 2006 Maureen | - From: Revitalizing... Hello Jess, I stumbled across your blog when you were in Ireland back in February. I love your enthusiasm for the country and the music. Doesn't it make a difference when you are there for a purpose as opposed to just sight seeing. You meet people and feel more connected. Lucky you live on the East Coast where it is close. When are you going back? I go home once or twice a year but live in CA so it is a long journey! Good luck with your tin whistle playing! Maureen |

| 9th August 2006 Cassie | Can't Stop Playing - From: Unexpected side trip, The Boys on Bofin &, yes, you guessed it... back "home" I can't get enough Irish music out here in good ol' Ra Cha Cha. I can't imagine what it would be like having irish music jams every nite!!!! Miss ya! |
| 8th August 2006 mom | liked the quiz - From: Unexpected side trip, The Boys on Bofin &, yes, you guessed it... back "home" no way could i spot tig in! great little quiz though.. what amazing sights and experiences. love you, mom |
| 7th August 2006 shannon | you are just having too much fun - From: Unexpected side trip, The Boys on Bofin &, yes, you guessed it... back "home" is that possible???? i love the entries! totally living vicariously through you. hope the whistle's going well, and will and i are planning our nyc reunion when you return to the states! the pics are GREAT!!!!! talk to you soon....tell Denise I said hi! :) shannon |
| 6th August 2006 Paul | I can't stop playing - From: Unexpected side trip, The Boys on Bofin &, yes, you guessed it... back "home" Per usual Jess some great photo's....the one of you on the beach whistle, however, is my favorite...maybe someday you'll be a full fledged member of Terry, Brian and Brenna's "Inishbofin" |
| 5th August 2006 Terry | Island of White Cow - From: Unexpected side trip, The Boys on Bofin &, yes, you guessed it... back "home" Did you know Inishbofin means "Island of the white cow"? On a few occasions when Brenna, Brian and I played gigs we called ourselved "Inishbofin" just because we needed a name. It is an irresistable one. As usual, love the pics! |
| 3rd August 2006 Deniese | there's more girl - From: 1 or 2? (Westport) Yes the music, traditions and festivals are a huge part of being irish and for alot of 'tourists', an amazing insight to a different yet real part of our country. You have to understand that to be here and want to be part of all that makes you, Jess, alot more than a 'tourist', whether your surmane is Irish,Jewish, Mongolian or Chinese! you are part of and will remain part of this country forever. Your next step should be in my opinion to stay longer in a place and give yourself a real taste of irish life. It doesn't have to be today but maybe next time come to live here for a few months babe, i'm sure you ll feel less and less like a tourist each time you return. |
| 3rd August 2006 Deniese | Hey chick - From: Off the windy island! so you alright? I love your view on our way of talking look out for things like when over-taking in a car, you'll hear passing out and ask some one what they would say if they were to unplug something.won't ruin the suprise for ya. Out of cork and in Galway, off on road trip til monday with the lovely bo.yes he's back. will call you next week mate, enjoy and take care. |

| 1st August 2006 Nessa | You now get it .... - From: 1 or 2? (Westport) OK< I was waiting for this to happen, there is ireland at the surface and then there is Ireland. And you really get Ireland if you either grew up there, or like you, you are drawn to delve in to those things that formed us... like the themes in our music, or you feel that "thing" that pulls us born-there- Irish to want to be together and talk, take the piss, laugh and sing with abandon....Now next someone may teach you "our secret handshake"!! |
| 31st July 2006 Stefan | - From: Off the windy island! NICE! I love camping, but I wouldn't have loved THAT camping. |

Hey, I noticed from the photo of your whistle teacher that she was playing a "green" top cheapie, further proof it's not the whistle so much as he player. I'm tellin ya' a nice "tweaked" model will rock out for you while you wait for your Sindt. Gavin and Bergin play Sindts I believe (the same as Brian and I). Later. |

| 9th November 2005 Pascal | Unbelievable - From: Finally... my Europe pictures Hi Jess, I was looking at your pictures on your website and you can't imagine what i saw. Look at this picture: http://www.jessrk.com/Europe%20Pictures/J%20-%20Switzerland%201A/Images/J%20-%207.25%20-%20Gimmelwald,%20Switzerland%20-%200470%20-%20hike%20-%20after%20storm%20wet%20at%20Slyvia's.jpg The woman with the blue T-Shirt. Do you remember her name? She comes from Switzerland, doesn't she? When I saw this picture, I was like.. Oh my Gosh!! She was my teacher in primary school when I was 9 or 10 years old. unfortunately, I didn't like her that much.. ;-) and that's the reason why I forgot her name ;-) Isn't that unbelievable? I got to know a wonderful woman like you from the other side of the planet and you met one of my teachers I had 12 years ago. ;-) That's sheer madness. All the best, Pascal |

It was a real treat for me and I know we all need our space, but I can't help letting you know that I've loved our time together. Thanks for everything you've done to support the changes in my life, and I wish you the best as you jump into your new life of travel and fun and meaningful time with friends! love mom |
