Well if you are not sure St. Patrick's Day is on the 17th March. It fell on a Monday this year and apparently some Aussies celebrated it on the previous Friday so as not to interfere with Holy Week. I am fairly certain that if you were born in Ireland, you celebrated it on the 17th March. This year I took a bit of a chance and played at three different venues. I was so worried about such a long day that I packed the night before and set off for the first gig 20 minutes early only to find on my arrival that I had forgotten my amplifer. It was at an old people's home and many of them are impatient. Well I did return only 15 minutes late. The second gig went well and the third went like a dream ...... after I dramatically changed my programand on discovering that not ONE person in the audience was Irish! See Photographs. I did not even sing the St. Patrick's Day song I composed for the occasion. I got to play all eight instruments and then had a quiet Guinness or two. Slainte!
