Will be listening to the Chieftains singing rousing Irish and
revolutionary war songs this fine sunny day?

Oh, and I highly recommend you obtain a copy of "Celtic Woman" -
probably one of the best Irish albums I've ever heard.

It's not a day to be an audio snob - either .mp3 or CD will do don't
'cha know. :)

The Celtic Woman stuff's pretty good, but the Chieftains....I'd rather
listen to a vacuum cleaner. Sorry. Remember that this, like many other
holidays, is based on "facts" which do not bear close inspection. That's
no
excuse for giving yourself a splitting headache.

Technically, it's not a holiday - it's a celebration of revolution.

And a good excuse to drink green beer.

Didn't St Patrick supposedly drive a bunch of snakes out of Ireland? Guess
who sees snakes when there really aren't any?
