I am a physical therapist and good friend of Martin Keogh

I appreciate your words and your courage and passion come thru loud and clear way more than some that are all able bodied with boundless energy.. and thanks for introducing me to the 'can'

Who is the person sitting near the Khaen? Yes it must be there because Hovancsek or Bagdagnani were there? Where is the party taking place?

Good morning Hal. I listened to your podcast today for the first time. I was amazed by the story and the beautiful music. As the mother of an old friend of yours (Michael Bateman) who is no longer here to celebrate and support your vision, I celebrate your vision and hope the “can” fest becomes a reality💞

Great writing!

Feels a little grandeur, but I like it. It’s you!

Great story! I thought that was a Khaen in the old photo and just thought you had grown up with the instrument.

I won’t be the chair of the organizing committee, but I think it’s a great idea to have a khaen festival in Kent. I would come to it myself. It would be a good excuse to visit the old home town.

I felt your gentle hearted ness and genuine passion for contributing beauty to this world with the khaen. Thank you for sharing Hal 🧡
