I wish I had real life people to do stuff with but I am through doing anything on St. Patrick's day unless people are somewhat Irish-American. It just is no good. I will socialize the other days of the year. I don't want to hear they don't sing that in Ireland or hear the word Plastic Paddy or hear especially folk singers make fun of the songs that my ancestors sang..music hall or whatever. Traditions got lost, the language got lost (there were most likely Gaelic speaking communities in the midwest USA including where my ancestors ended up in Iowa. It is very sad to me that people from outside the culture felt it necessary to destroy a living tradition. I wouldn't do that to anyone else..tell Mexicans that is not how they sing it in Spain etc. But anyway, I have a famine song on MP3 if anyone (except those on my bad list) wants..just email mgxxxxxx@yahoo.com. mg
