My wife, daughter and I played at St Joseph’s Resdiance which is an old folks home run by mostly Colombian nuns. Really great group of ladies that work so hard! We did a mix of Latin, C&W, old time rock n roll , R&B and old standards. Did a few Irish themed tunes too:
Danny Doy My Wild Irish Rose It’s A Great Day For The Irish Peg O’ My Heart My Looking Over My Four Leaf Clover
Some Non Irish tunes but go along with the St Patric theme:
Aquellos Ojos Verdes (Green Eyes) Good Luck Charm ( Elvis) Luck Be A Lady Tonight

Today is St. Joseph's Day, a patron Saint of Sicily, and with you playing at St. Joseph's Residence, I was looking for an Italian song on your play list ...

I don`t restrict my Irish songs to once a year,they`re all year round for me.I always include some in a set wherever the gig and I do have a brilliant Midifle of the Riverdance to set the mood.

Donny gave pretty much the whole list, but this is one of my absolute favorites ... On our first trip to Italy in 2006, my wife and I had the great fortune of meeting our dear departed S-Z friend, Andrea (Dreamer) ... we were in a little Italian restaurant and a guitar player and flute player performed this song - it was the first time I ever heard it ... I asked Andrea about it and after we got back home he e-mailed me a copy of the Italian sheet music ... I actually wrote an English version that very closely tracks the Italian lyric ... I play the song fairly often and can't help but think of our dear friend Andrea Rotolo ...
