Subject: RE: St. Pat's Aftermath
Oh well, I ended up in a pub where a man dressed like a Leprechaun was singing the likes of "Peg o'My Heart", "When Irish Eyes are Smilin'", "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen", "McNamara's Band" - Oh and "Danny Boy" about 10 times at the request of the audience. Green Beer was served, along with green jello vodka chasers. The patrons wore plastic leprechaun hats and had shamrocks on their lapels that flashed "Kiss Me, I'm Irish". Most people had far too much to drink. I didn't know what I was getting into when I went but just look upon it as well...an experience. I was booked to sing at a pub the next day and did well known but somewhat more acceptable songs like "Whiskey in the Jar", "Rocky Road to Dublin" and "Black Velvet Band". Nobody asked for "Danny Boy" which was just as well!
