Rural Ledge-ucation #93: St. Paddy's Day

I'm not known as a traditionalist, so the concept of doing a traditional Irish show for St. Patrick's Day was a challenge. Since only a fraction of my bloodline comes from that wonderful country, I don't have the sort of romantic view of most of those tunes from the old country. Most are kind of "schlocky", in my opinion.
I did my best today, though, to compile a somewhat old-school show. There are some of the classic groups from the 60's (The Clancy Brothers, Dubliners, etc.) along with quieter moments from more current acts (Flogging Molly, Mahones, etc.). There's also a couple of semi-novelty tunes to lighten the mood.
Overall, this should be a fun show for those who celebrate the big day on the actual date it should be celebrated! Who started this trend of having the festivities on the closest Saturday? My favorite St. Patrick's Day of all time was on a Tuesday!
Anyway, grab this from the usual online spots, or...
