Did everyone have a good St. Patrick's Day? I had a blast! I celebrated with my very own Irishman, Darren Stone.

When you play the accordion, you're a great candidate for being categorized into whichever folk music has become mainstream at that moment, and has the accordion present in it. I leave St. Patrick's Day to the Irish. Or, I am just too young/still gaining a catalog of music in my brain, to be able to whip out a heartfelt rendition of "Danny Boy"? I am only becoming familiar with every culture there is! Patience, please! However, I would have chosen covers, like my second favourite Irishman - Morrissey.
Sighhhh :)
I make up for my lack of Celtic music knowledge with baking green shortbread cookies in the shapes of shamrocks. I'd say that's a good alternative, no? Yes!
The goal for next year will be to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Ireland. I will learn a traditional St. Patrick's Day song while I am there. What a concept!
