    I'm part Irish, but don't know any Irish quotes except the one my Grandfather use to say "Hey, why don't you run in the kitchen and get me another beer"

    Happy Saint Pat's Day everyone.

    I'm part Irish but I refuse the wearin' O' the Green. I think it stems from childhood when you'd get pinched for not wearing green.

    Just try & pinch me .....

    I will be drinkin' Guinness this evening, however.

    May even make Corned Beef & Cabbage.

    Talking

    Erin go bragh! Slainte!

    And by the way, the Irish will MAKE you Irish if you gab with 'em enough.

    An elderly lady, in all seriousness, told me I was certainly Irish, as there were some "Kroojers" (her pronunciation) in the next town over.

    My last name is "Kruger." And yes, she'd not only heard me pronounce it, she'd seen it spelt.

    Admittedly, I was told this within spitting distance of Blarney Castle, but this lady was dead serious.

    May the light always find you on a dreary day.

    When you need to be home, may you find your way.

    May you always have courage to take a chance

    And never find frogs in your underpants.

    "There's no bad publicity except an obituary." (Brendan Behan)

    It's the most lucrative time of the year for playing traditional Irish music. (Which is why we wear green, right?) Last week we played a couple of parties, a Guinness promotional event for congressional staff, and an office party at the Pentagon. Tonight we're playing for the party at the Irish Embassy; we're apparently kind of their house band.

    Wow, that's quite an accolade to play Irish music at their embassy! Congrats!

    My punk band used to do an amped-up punkabilly version of "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," with alternate lyrics about the Troubles. I was a little hesitant to play it at our local family-run Irish bar given the political nature of the additional lyrics, but the head of the clan that ran the place loved it and actually used to request it.

    As I'm no great shakes as a singer, I was really proud it was accepted that well.

    Here is an Irish blessing song I like. Sounds like a musical version of some nice old Irish ladie's needlepoint. Go to this link and click on "The Blessing"

    Sweet sounding little guitar solo too!

    Happy SPD!!

    I'm 25% Irish (my dad's mom's name was Annie McGuire--Irish enough for ya?). But I can't stand Irish music....with the exception of Rory Gallagher!

    Anyway, a good Irish joke seems in order today:

    Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door.

    "Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya."

    "Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?"

    "That's what I'm here to be tellin' ya, Brenda. There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."

    "Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me..."

    "I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry."

    Finally, she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen, Tim?"

    "It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guinness Stout and drowned."

    "Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me true, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?"

    "Well, no Brenda...no. Fact is, he got out three times to pee."
