Everybody works on Saint Patty's day. I think that other than Christmas and NYE, it's the most popular of all the holidays. I'm always booked a year or two in advance for this one.
Danny Boy Galloway Bay Galloway Bay (Parody) Harrigan McNamara's Band Irish Lullaby My Wild Irish Rose Sidewalks of NY When Irish Eyes Are Smiling Wild Colonial Boy Irish Stew Irish Washerwoman
Plus a few others I can't recall from the top of my head.

Fran......I couldn't resist replying to what you said here .
When I was first introduced to Irish music while living in Europe, I hated it too. Simple tunes with too many words in them. But like anything.....the simplistic beauty of the music starts to grow on you. And the lyrics........every song tells a story.....usually about "mother" "Irish patriotism" "drinking" or some woman that you left behind and still pine over!
I had the same experience with German music. I worked in a German Bierkellar....played the music but couldn't stand the stuff. Then one day it all comes together and suddenly you start to look at the music differently. And then.......you can't get enough of it!
Kind of like everyday life......I remember when I couldn't care less about Rocky Road ice cream. Now I like it so much I can eat myself into a coma with it!
Irish Party gig today again to make up for yesterdays st patty's snowstorm..should be a fun time...but tomorrow, we go Italian St. Josephs day & my Anniversary too Yeah!!
