St. Patrick’s Day today, and while we don’t play a lot of proper Irish/Celtic stuff (we leave that to the professionals at Waxies Dargle), we can celebrate Ireland, the Irish, things that are green, and good luck. We do what we can. We also have some amazing upcoming shows that are well worthy of celebration.
