Luck of the Irish Presentation
(Left to right: Carol Erickson, Maryanne Mistretta and Bridget Briant)
For the second year, I’ve been presenting “Luck of the Irish” in libraries and assisted living facilities. This year, I have special guest, Carol Erickson (http://www.carolericksonvocals.com/) accompanying me, singing a few Irish songs at the end of some of the lectures.
At the latest lecture, Bridget Briant stopped by. She and I do a children’s recyclables program together. It’s a joy to have great people to work with that all support each other! For more information on my programs, visit: https://peartreeenterprises.wordpress.com/
Here is the synopsis for Luck of the Irish:
Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta, an award-winning writer, author and public speaker, will explore Irish topics such as the Irish wake, Irish wedding traditions, Ireland’s main crop – the potato — and of course, St. Patrick’s Day.
Irish folklore is also included in the discussion such as leprechauns, the pot of gold and where the term “Luck of the Irish” came from!
There will also be a guest vocalist ending the afternoon with a favorite Irish tune.
Whether you are Irish or not, you will enjoy this fun, informative – and inter-active event.
Carol Erickson and Maryanne Mistretta are available for libraries, assisted living facilities, seniors groups and clubs. For pricing and availability, please contact Maryanne at: maryannechristiano@gmail.com
Maybe Carol can sing this song at one of your Irish presentations:
WHO STOLE THE OVERALLS FROM MRS. MURPHY’S CHOWDER
Who stole the overalls from Mrs. Murphy’s chowder.
Nobody spoke so she shouted all the louder
It’s an Irish trick that’s true
I can lick the knick that threw
The overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s chowder
This is from an old Bing Crosby vinyl album we had in the 1950’s.
Great, I’ll let her know! She said you helped her a lot with the other song suggestions.
I will be glad to help her with the songs anytime.
