Happy St Patrick's Day

Ok, who's bringing the green beer?

No, I don't want any. I've never understood the fascination. I try to avoid drinking green things, unless it's Hawaiian Punch or Kool-aid, same goes for yellow. Those are just two colors I don't like my drinky-poos.

But let's not discuss drinky-poos anymore.

Let's discuss Irish Drinking Songs!

I've only heard one and it's hysterical, so I thought I'd share it with you.

The Irish Rovers - Beer, Beer, Beer.

It's an absolutely hysterical song! One of those things that you listen to when you need to have a giggle.

I'm a fan of good Celtic sounding music. Clanaad comes to mind. This was the band that Enya was in before she struck out on her own. Personally I've always liked Clanaad better, and I prefer the vocals of her sister Maire.

But there are more artists out there that keep that dark dreamy sound to their music.

Caroline Lavelle is one. You might want to check out this part of her official site.

There's a free download of the song Bushes and Briars and if you scroll down there is also the video for the song Moorlough Shore, which is a personal favorite of mine. That song is gorgeous. Go check it out now!

To talk about Caroline without mentioning Loreena McKennitt would be like talking about Bernie Barlow without mentioning the Moody Blues. Check out Loreena's site. Surely most of you remember the gorgeous song, The Mummer's Dance that actually got airplay on Mtv in the 90's. She's definitley worth checking out.

Enjoy the music! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
