Today is the day where everyone wants to be Irish and get drunk.
My grandmother is straight from Ireland and still has family over there, one being her brother Micheal - whom when he came to visit, taught me how real Irishmen do it: drink numerous pints of Guinness (not my favorite beer) all this being done before Noon.
Another memory that goes along with St Pattys for me, is when i was ages 10-13, going with my best friends parents, to a local irish pub, packed to the brim. Drunk irish men singing along to the group Murphy’s Law (who are now back in Ireland). Theres nothing like drunk people singing along to good irish music. Now whenever I hear those few songs that i can remember, i find my self tapping my feet, clapping my hands and reaching for a “pint”.
Ill leave you with three of my fav’s and maybe they motivate you to go to your favorite pub and grab some green beer:
Also as the group Murphy’s Law also ended their show : ” May the wind at your back…….never be your own!”
Tim Finnegans Wake- (where the drunk Irish people have to clap during the chorus and stop right when its ended)
Whiskey in the Jar

Yeah! Love your choices! I would add No Nay Never! Black Velvet Band, I think that they should make a Playstation game for Irish Singing. Guiness is good for you. If you drink too much green beer walk home!
