- Well, a lot of us will be marking the holiday, I guess, with a Guinness and a listen to your program. And so I wonder what has the program been like this year? You went through the
holidays in a bubble as I remember, for a Christmas Celtic Sojourn, and how's it coming together this time? - It really is great, in actual fact. For Christmas, we were amazed at the
uptake. We had almost 6,000 people who joined us for one of our shows. And I think it really was an indication as much as anything that we do or I do or I curate, it's as much a need
for people to have a semblance of their normal lives, getting together with like-minded people, albeit on a screen, not the same as live. It is a semblance of the past, and that's what
we're doing for St. Patrick's Day Celtic Sojourn, as well. Our final in the series is actually coming up tonight at 7:30. So people can access that by going to wgbh.org/celtic, and
we have already had 3,600 people join us. So again, that idea that you can get together virtually is a great advantage, obviously, during a pandemic, and tonight it's a way to gather,
as well, and celebrate in that lighthearted way, as I said, and you referred to maybe crack open a Guinness or having a shot of Jameson. - Thought that was required. Jame, we can do that, as
well.
