I will be celebrating Ireland by playing 2 hours of Irish and Celtic music on my radio show on March 13. I have a gig that night, also, which will be filled with songs and tunes from the Emerald Isle. St. Patrick's month, i say..why restrict your celebrations to one day??!!

why such a negative and defensive attitude, mg,
if you want a joyful day, start by being joyful!!

the Irish were on this continent before columbus -- St. Brendan
made it across the atlantic in ox-hide boats. This would have
occurred sometime between 512-530 AD..we should celebrate
Saint Brendan's feast day on May 16, too.
