Here are some pointers...

You do not need to call us Plastic Paddies for any reason whatsoever. It is a very rude term and meant to insult.

You do not need to say that is not what they sing in Ireland. I personally don't care what they sing in Ireland...it is a day that developed its own traditions in USA. I do not tell people on Sytende Mai what they sing or don't sing in Norway. On Columbus day I do not tell Italian Americans what they do or don't sing in Italy.

You do not need to sneer at people who want certain songs on St. Patrick's Day, such as Kerry Dancers, Irish Eyes etc..in general we sing most of these songs once a year and the once is coming up.

If it offends your sensibilities that they would ask for Danny Boy etc. just consider playing somewhere else on St. Patrick's Day.

A lot of fun and music has been killed..not died a natural death which would be expected. mg
