Jim Dwyer sent a couple St Patrick's Day pictures

 

Solange Benoit emailed photos: "Hi Marc! Kilrush was busy again over the weekend with 3 gigs and boy, they did not disappoint!  Here are some pictures: "

 

Scott F. sent St Patrick's Day pictures of Ockham's Razor: "Hey Marc, I got a few of Ockham’s Razor but I was too busy running sound to get too many more."

Raven Lunatric with Ancient Order of Hibernians sent a photo of them in the parade.

GERALD GUINN emailed photos: Hi Marc!  Hope your holiday was a joyous one as well!! I'm attaching a pic of the audience from our St. Patrick's show in Murfreesboro, TN, and one from the County Sumner Irish Festival that we played during this St. Patrick's season.

Funny songs? Well, from our "Lager & Blood" album, I think "Irish Rover", "The Johnny Jump Up", "The Devil that You Know", and of course, "The Old Dun Cow" are all potential candidates!"
