I think that you would like Van Morrison and The Chieftains,
Star Of The County Down. I'm having trouble posting it from
Youtube here so I have left the title. The web address is as

Here's a song I learned when I was teaching myself to play
keyboard. I learned lots of songs from a songbook I inherited
from my Grandmother -- and then later got to hear others play
them.

I had a few adventures on St. Patrick's Day delivering pizzas.
I got to this house that had "The Shannons" on their door.
Sounded Irish to me, so when a man opened the door wearing a
green shirt (some sports team shirt), of course, I had to say,
"Happy St. Patrick's Day." He looked Irish to me too with the
sparkling eyes that the Irish often have.
I teased a black girl who works at the front desk of a hotel.
"Not wearing green today?" She smiled and said no. I caught
myself -- I almost said, "Not feeling Irish today?" Ha, she
might have laughed about it, who knows?
Then I delivered to a house and their neighbors had a green
porch light. I asked, "Do they always have that green light or
is it for St. Patrick's Day?" The man peaked out of the door
to see and then laughed and said, "I don't know. I don't live
here."

I never knew you were a musician, Kerry. I suppose it is why
you are intellectually sharper than me. When I was giving care
for my mother in the rest home, I couldn't fail to notice that
the people who were functioning the best were the ones that kept
their minds active. Many of these people were musicians.
The Wolfe Tones . . . I've never heard of them before. I've
heard of Wolfe Tone and the Irish rebellion in 1798. The
British packed up old General Cornwallis to put down that
rebellion as well. That time Cornwallis succeeded.
The Cornwallis brothers sympathized with the American rebels. I
suspect that they did with the Irish ones as well. Of course, I
am fond of Admiral William "Billy Blue" Cornwallis. He was a
great admiral in his day and there is much about him I admire.

When I worked as a night auditor at a Super 8, I met a number of
people of Ireland. There is a kind of look in the face and in
the body that is distinctive to me. If you've seen pictures of
Paddy Maloney of The Chieftains, a number of the Irish men are
like him in the body.

I once knew a girl in junior high school who had identified
herself as 'Black Irish'. She had, perhaps, almost an albino
color to her skin. She had dark raven hair, some freckles on
her face, and dimples. She said her family originally came from
Northern Ireland. The 'Black Irish' are supposedly quite
distinctive. She fascinated us young boys at the time.
Black folks in Montana know how to celebrate Saint Patrick's
Day. ;D I am very sure the black ministers know that Patrick
was once a slave and had been sold as a slave. There is a bond
of sympathy there.

A lot of people become Irish for a day on Saint Patrick's Day.
Curiously, he was not known for being a hard drinker as the
Irish generally are. The monks, though, that followed Saint
Patrick, were the ones in Scotland, that obtained a distiller
from the Arabs, that was originally made for the manufacture of
perfume, and then invented what we call Scotch whiskey. I
suspect that Patrick would not have minded this given the clammy
coldness of the Irish winters.

I think that it would be good to start St. Patrick's Day with a
hymn. I hope you all enjoy it! :)

For the blind and the lame, the deaf and the dumb, the palsied,
the lunatic, the leprous, the epileptic, all who labored under
any disease, did he in the Name of the Holy Trinity restore unto
the power of their limbs and unto entire health; and in these
good deeds was he daily practiced. Thirty and three dead men,
some of whom had been many years buried, did this great reviver
raise from the dead, as above we have more fully recorded.” (The
Life and Acts of St. Patrick translated from the original Latin
of Jocelin, Cistercian monk of Furnes of the 12th century, by
Edmund L. Swift, Esq., Dublin, 1809.)
I tell you for certain that if you have faith in me, you will do
the same things I am doing. You will do even greater things, now
that I am going back to the Father (Jesus Christ).

Then there is the time and place where St. Patrick's Day is
celebrated in the local pubs. In this case bring on the Irish
Rovers . . . :D
