OK, we've heard WHAT to play, HOW to sing it, WHETHER it's a worthy song or not, but WHERE is it?

Some people in search of song will be in town this weekend. Where to go? Where to sing and whom to hear?

Thanks for the tips, Capitol mudcateers.

Get a copy of today's Washington Post and check out the "Weekend" magazine within. Local shows such as what you probably want are listed beginning on page 15. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

As for Irish music in DC this weekend, there will be the St. Patrick's Day Parade (although the weather forecast sounds pretty ominous...), and a session at Paddy Mac's in Silver Spring (8241 Georgia Avenue, near the SS metro stop), from 4 to 8pm on Sunday.
