Whether you’re wearing orange or green today: Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! This St. Patrick’s Day, I would encourage you to do more than just wear green/orange; actually take some time to delve into Irish heritage and read about the historical person on whom the holiday is based.
Some suggested music for today:
Oro Se do Bheath Abhaile
Whiskey in the Jar
Rocky Road to Dublin
Foggy Dew
Shipping up to Boston
Mo Ghile Mear
Also,
