March Madness begins now!

…and No we are not referring to the NCAA basketball tournament with Dick Vitale launching spittle into yer face about which spunky little team in rural Indiana got hosed out of a tournament bid. No…no…no! We are of course referring to the great St. Paddy’s Day time of year which is well underway. The “Green” season if you will. Where the only spittle you’ll be receiving will be from the sweat of the bagpipes, the bow of the fiddle…or that person next to you who talked you into buying them one too many pints! Either way…it doesn’t get any better than this. Starting THIS Saturday, you can celebrate the St. Patrick’s March Madness with The Killdares.
