Happy "Southside" St. Pat's Day.....
We spent most of Sat at the Kerry Piper in Willowbrook.....and didn't get arrested.
Great little find off of 55 & 83....and only 15 minutes from home.
Plenty of entertainment....but we realized that there are only about 6 good Irish songs and eveything else is really Country/Western or Folk....
Other than "GREEN alligators".....is the UNICORN SONG really Irish!?
Heard....."Southside Irish" and "Whiskey in the Jar" ....more times than I had beer!!
Which by the way.......was too many!
Southside Trivia.....
"We're The Southside Irish" was penned by Terry McEldowney who lived 2 blocks from our old house at the end of Kildare with his Mom....formerly of Little Flower and had some Uncle Jim connections. I was his favorite paperboy back in the day.
Also.....I always thought that any more than one Bagpipin' song was one too many......
but the Emerald Society put on a pretty incredible show.....
I booked them for my funeral.
Check out these original 79th street Southside Irish Parade pics in front of Leo H.S.....
Picture is.....4 chicks "with" a green beard!
Yes the beard was real.
