As our good friends the Shamrogues aptly note, March is “St. Patrick’s Month.” Nonetheless, Monday is St. Patrick’s Day and in this show we gave listeners an early start on the holiday. Instead of deep forays into the “hearty and hellish” of many Celtic bands, I decided to delve back into the folk files and place the spotlight for much of the show on two longstanding ladies of Irish song: Mary Black and Dolores Keane.
