Happy St. Patricks Day!

PLEASE try and have fun today, be happy and possibly think about St. Patrick. Yes/No?
 
History aside, this has just turned into an annual fun fest. Not Irish? Who cares! This is still your day to let loose, drink and wear green.

I only ask you to at least try  Guinness or Murphys if you haven't done so already. If stouts aren't your fancy, try Harp OR if your crazy enough, drink some Jameson or Bushmills.

MOST IMPORTANTLY...
Listen to some Irish music!
Check this 7 hour Irish Music Stream brought to you by the good folks at Folk Alley, supported by NPR Radio.

This FREE Irish Music Stream has "a mix of familiar and new artists, including Mary Black, Solas, Danu, John Doyle, Donal Lunny, Connie Dover, Andy Irvine, Planxty, Grada, The Chieftains (of course) and much, much more!"

If you don't dig any of the traditional music, try these: 

C'mon, you gotta play Thin Lizzy
Don't need to throw up any U2 or Van Morrison for you guys but I'll get you to reminisce on The Cranberries
Not much to say much about the Dropkick Murphys 
&
Believe it or not, brilliant electronic music resides in Ireland as well
OR
How about some homegrown Canadian talent. Leahy anyone?

I'd love to hear more people blast the traditional tunes but either way feed your ears with everything Irish related. Get "ar meisce" and "Tabhair 'om póg, is Éireannach mé!"
Cheerio now...
