St. Patrick's Day T-Shirt

Top 'o the morning to ya!


I hope everyone has a happy and safe St. Paddy's Day! I don't have anything planned to celebrate the holiday. Just doing laundry and cleaning the house. I'm a pretty boring person. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been having some personal issues lately and I just haven't been up to blogging. But, I wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day. To celebrate, here's a video put together by Crazy Sexy Geeks a couple of years ago. It's all about Irish super heroes. Have fun and don't drink too much green beer!

Here's the lyrics so that you can sing along --


Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side

The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying

'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.


And if you come, when all the flowers are dying

And I am dead, as dead I well may be

You'll come and find the place where I am lying

And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.


And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me

And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be

If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.


I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.


And here's a great version of the song by the Muppets --

Oh Danny Boy...


Everybody sing along.

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

Music For St. Patrick's Day



Need some music for St. Patrick's Day? Check out The Brobdingnagian Bards. The Bards are Andrew McKee and Marc Gunn. Click here to buy their music or get some great FREE MP3's. Or here for Marc's solo stuff.

From their website--

"Scottish and Irish folk songs combined with the Lord of the Rings music and a wee bit o'Celtic fun. The Brobdingnagian Bards (pronounced brob-din-nahg-EE-en) are The Original Celtic Renaissance music duo from Austin, Texas. Their unique brand of folk music on the autoharp, recorder, and mandolin has made them one of the most-popular Celtic music groups online where they give away thousands of free Celtic MP3 downloads daily.

The Brobdingnagian Bards perform coast-to-coast, and in a given month might be at a Lord of the Rings Oscar Party, a Celtic festival, or a Science Fiction Convention. However, they are an absolute favorite at Renaissance Faires where they add high-energy and wit to make every show a memorable experience."
