The High Holy Day

Is TODAY!!!!

That's right boys and girls, it is St. Patrick's Day. The High Holy Day.

And for any o you naysayers, it IS A HOLIDAY. Here's proof.



And St. Patrick's Day would not be complete without a good pint of Guinness. And to properly enjoy a good pint, it should be drawn from the keg in a two-part pour.

Here, Fergal Murray, Brewmaster at the St. James Gate Brewery in Dublin, Ireland, where Guinness is brewed, explains the perfect pour.



So enjoy your pint with some good music.

Dubliners-Rising of the Moon


The Chieftains w/ the Kelly Family-Rocky Road to Dublin


Liam O'Maonlai-Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore


Planxty-The Jolly Beggar


Stan Rogers-Witch of Westmoreland


The Friars-Another Irish Drinking Song


And for your laughing enjoyment,

If any of you are close by, at Budde's in Galesburg tonight, there will be corned beef and cabbage, beer, and Irish music (possibly or probably including me).


Slainte!
