UdeMan on St. Pat's: Liam O'Maonlai
Happy St. Patrick's Day! A song for you from one of my favourite (and most Ireland's most handsome) musicians.
Liam O'Maonlai of The Hothouse Flowers singing a traditional song, "Sadhbh Ni Bhruinneallaigh" in Gaelic. (Harmony vocals, Kathleen MacInnes; fiddle, Allan Henderson; guitar, Steve Cooney; harp, Allan MacDonald; bodhran, Jim Sutherland.) The song is about an fisherman who presents his case to a woman he hopes to court.
The entire family celebrates. I always hit a pub with one of my GFs, where we introduce ourselves as the O'Malley sisters. The O'Malley sisters may be invented, but they always get a seat!

Happy Saint Pat's to you!
I'm with you on the spotted scarf/shawl. It sort of says it all: spring/warm/happy/new.
You are quite the stylish writer as well.
And, is there anything that Pseu can't do?
At the pub at the end of the street we were introduced to a new drink, the Pickleback, one shot of Jameson’s followed by a second shot of pickle juice. Did not try! One Harp is my limit.
tippchic: Yes, it is a North American tradition probably in response to discrimination, as are most "pride" events.
