Not much Irish blood. Family name of Mallar left Scotland around 1770. Set of MacFarlane. Of course, name changed to Miller on the boat due to Stuart connections.Just started listening this weekend and love it.
Hey, I'm from the South Side of Chicago! How could I NOT know that stuff ?

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

Actually growing up, we concerned ourselves much more with my mothers heritage: her parents were immigrants from Poland. It really wasn't until I was in college that I paid more attention to my Celtic roots.
WOWEE! Yup you are Irish. Dia dhuit! Irish, Irish, and more Irish!
Even though I'm not really Irish.

"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
To watch us irish dance is to hear our hearts speak! Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast.
