Podcast: Erin Go Bragh

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Erin Go Bragh! 

The thing I enjoy about St. Patrick's Day, is the fact, that no matter if you are Irish or not, we all come together to celebrate St. Patrick and enjoy the company of others. So make sure to sport your best green because this play list will have your Irish eyes smiling and singing.

As, I was thinking about what I wanted to write to really encompass the essence of St. Patrick's Day, I realized that are just too many wonderful and rich traditions to write on.  So whatever you plan on doing, make sure to eat, drink and be merry and enjoy the company you are with.  Make sure to pick up some "Kiss me I am Irish" pins, because after you share this playlist with your family and friends, you will receive many kisses. 

Here in Chicago we have such rich traditions that accompany St. Patrick's Day and the Irish come out and celebrate. We host several parades, we dye the Chicago River green, and there are many parties that feature corned beef, cabbage, green beer, and a few Irish dancers. Coming from a large Irish Catholic family, our celebrations take us all over Chicago to watch Irish Dancers, eat plenty of corned beef, and appreciate all the good fun this day brings. 

So whether your staying home or venturing out, this playlist will bring our your inner Michael Flatley. Trust me when I say, these songs will have you singing and dancing all day and night. So grab a corned beef sandwich, a Guinness, and your best dancing shoes because these songs will get the party going. 

Sláinte!
