Saying it with Music: Happy St. Patrick's Day!
As Bono from U2 put it: “The whole thing about Lent – as any Irishman will tell you – is that it stops on St Patrick’s Day.”
Bono, you speak, we listen!
Janet Elkins' hometown is famous for dying the Chicago River green.
Even here in Southern California we celebrate the Irish holiday although the California way may not be quite conforming with the original religious holiday tradition. We are in good company, though! While 5.5 million pints of Guinness are consumed daily around the world, on St Patrick's Day that number rises to 13 million!
Another great Irish tradition is music. We asked DJ Lee Dyson to compile
The Perfect Playlist!
Lee Dyson: "Since I’m more or less ½ Irish AND a DJ I figured it’s only my responsibility to provide everyone with some festive music from Irish bands to help celebrate the day.
P.S. I didn’t forget Enya…..I just didn’t want to put anyone to sleep!"
So we got you drinking Guinness and dancing. Let's add food!
Please do not make the mistake to call corned beef and cabbage Irish Stew!
Our Irish friend and caterer Richard Mooney corrected us on that issue three years ago and shared his personal recipe for an Irish-Californian dinner:
Nuevo Irish Lamb Stew!
Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday!
