Local parade and country club at night.

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 ...

Yes, we should learn some Italian tunes for sure. My wife would be up for the chachallenge . Any suggestions?

Malafemina
That's Amore
Al di la
Return To Me
Arrivaderci Roma
Tarrentela Napolitano
Eh Cumpare
Che La Luna
Buona Sera

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 ...
