Well guys happy St Patrick's day. For one day all eyes our on ireland, some just to see exactly how much can one country drink in a day!
3 gigs today, a radio one this morning a 4-6 set and then a 12 -2 set in a different venue. Every year we seem to play a couple of gigs on paddy's day. So for me and for that reason it's the bestday of the year:)

I keep meaning to pick up a Dargie just so I can play a green bass on paddy's day.

Happy St Patrick's day!

I remember last year, there are a few Irish pubs in my home town, it was madness, live Irish music and rivers of beer! :D

Top o the morning to you, Dave. Happy St Patrick's day. I think every bar in England uses today as the reason for a big booze up.

Will you be wearing the large Guiness hat all day :D

And as for When Irish Eyes are Smiling - if ever a song was written for communal singing in a slightly slurred, boozy way............that has to be it - come to think of it there are several Irish songs like that I can think of. You have even more impecable lineage than we ever knew, BP.

I once played a gig in an Irish pub (in England) on St Patrick's night - it sure was fun ;)

And the best of the rest of the day to you, David (and all Knuckleheads).

It's a wee bit early to be drinking the black stuff (unless it's from Costa Rica) here on the Left Coast of America, but we'll be toasting you all day. Our gig (funny, we're a cajun band playing an Irish festival) starts at 5:30 this evening. We do have two fiddles though, so we'll figure out something to play.

These Irish eyes are smiling.

ps - the last time I was in Cork we sang something called the wiki wiki song? Any help here?

Tis a great time o' the year to be in an Irish band in Denver. Did one gig this afternoon, one more to go tonight, two more over the weekend. Everyone is so drunk at the pubs, we could play Jewish cowboy classical modern jazz music and they wouldn't know the difference. Untill we do some Flogging Molly covers, then they go nuts! Off to the next gig...
