I catalog books in an art museum library For St. Patrick's Day my partner and I are doing our annual pub crawl, 4 Irish bars over the course of the afternoon with all the craic we can absorb Music - wise, we went to a pub yesterday and listened to some traditional tunes, hopefully will hear more during the pub crawl Friday (sometimes the bars just have on NCAA games, sigh) as well as digging out a stack of CDs I haven't listened to in a while. There's some great music out there : - ) Happy High Holy Days to you," Jeffrey Shaw of The Muckers replied: "You know what I'm doing for St. Patrick's Day, baby! Keeping those drunks dancing with Celtic tunes : - D" Von Rothenberger replied from Lucas, Kansas: "Going to the annual St. Paddy's Day Parade & Celebration in Lillis, Kansas (population: 40) and then eating corned beef & cabbage at the Second Street Cafe in Natoma, Kansas!" Patrick Clark replied: Marc,I listen to the podcast during my commute or walk. I'm taking St. Patrick's day off to go to Mass and cook Corned Beef (I know it's not Irish, but my inlaws love how I cook it) I celebrate Celtic culture through music by listening to your podcast, the copperplate time podcast, as well as the Nuacht Mhall podcast and I'm studying Gaeilge through the Philo - Celtic society! (philo - celtic.com) Go raibh maith agat!" Ellen Ellis emailed: "Marc, I would love a St. Patrick's Day show. I will be celebrating St Patrick's day by playing all Irish music on my radio program called "The Green Willow Show" on WVUD 91.3 at the University of Delaware, on Wednesday the 15th at 8PM eastern time. I can be streamed in realtime at www.wvud.org. On The 17th I will probably drink a little Bushmills and watch The Banshees of Inisherin. I listen to your show while in the car or doing stuff around the house. Thank You for the music you play for the world." Ken B. emailed: "1. I am doing work around the house while listening. 2. For St. Patrick's Day I am watching my grandkids. Will celebrate with a Black & Tan after they are put to bed. 3. I celebrate Celtic culture by going out of my way to find artists of the culture and give them a special listen. That is where your Podcast comes in handy. You do great work. Keep it up." Dennis McCarthy emailed: "Love the show. Been listening for a few years. I most always listen while driving. I play the bagpipes so I am very busy during the month of March, especially on Saint Patrick's Day. The pipe and drum bands that I am in have been playing at many local festivals and private parties in the Saint Augustine area. Thank you very much" Ellen Mandeville replied: I often do housework or go for a walk while listening. I plan to cook potato leek soup and drink Guinness on St. Patrick's day. We'll be listening to Celtic music while enjoying our St. Paddy's day meal.
