All the Micks and Macs from my vinyl collection (almost) to give you a bona fide St. Patrick's Day Jazz show! Although admittedly a few might not be Irish, we have representatives from The McLeans, The McLaughlins, The McDuffs, The MacPartlands, The McGriffs, The McRaes, The McPhersons, The McKusicks, lots more! Grab a naughty-size slice of soda bread and some breakfast tea (or a Guiness if so inclined) and enjoy some fun and excellent jazz you probably won't hear anywhere else! (Today, anyway!) Listen in the player below. Happy St. Patrick's Day!! - Kendo
