I'm Irish-American, so every day is St. Patrick's Day in our house. We play a lot of Irish music
(LOVE the High Kings!), use a lot of Irish expressions, bless everything, and eat Irish-American food. On St. Pat's
Day we get a little more goofy and wear green and decorate the house. I would love some new, fresh ideas for making
the day (or the whole month) special.
What do you do to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
Wow, sounds fun! I love Celtic music!! I don't have any super new ideas...but maybe you could
learn a new song, dance, poem, instrument, or recipe. At an Irish cultural festival - there are workshops on all
kinds of things like - the history of the Irish language, decorating leather with celtic knots, hurling, harps,
basket weaving, & genealogy...
I usually leave SPD to the Irish, and for good reason. Dancing to Celtic music ties me intoQuote:

I used to make my living playing
Irish music on the fiddle. I was absolutely crazy about the fiddle and the music in those days. I think I spent
the entire Spring Summer and Fall in Ireland for 7 consecutive seasons. Since then, other passions have overtaken
me I suppose. Back in the "good old days" St. Paddy's Day meant non-stop gigs for a week or so.
Kevin Burke
and the Bothy Band were a couple of my favorites to listen to in those days.
