Just a few more days till St. Patrick's Day. I'm still trying to release a special edition of the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine as usual. My 17 Free Celtic Music Downloads for St. Patrick's Day special. You will have to check the website for details.

In other news, March 17th is also my birthday. It doesn't look like we'll be gigging too much either. Andrew just updated the shows page, and we just have something at Opal Divine's at 12:40 on Friday. If you're off, we'd love to see you down there. Feel free to wish me a happy birthday.

If you can't make it down, call 512-879-NEWT (6398) and leave a birthday message as well.

If you're wondering who else to see in Austin for St. Patrick's Day, here are a few of my favorites who are performing. You can see a complete list on our St Patrick's Day Party website.

• Ed Miller
• The Tea Merchants
• Doc Grauzer
• Bedlam Bards
• Gan Fidil
• Paisley Close
• Pubcrawler
• Silver Thistle Pipe & Drums

To me, the best lineup for music is either Opal Divine's, Penn Field or at B.D. Riley's Irish Pub. So if we don't get any more gigs between now and then, I'll be at one of those two places much of the day, methinks.
