You can file for a tax filing extension but personally I'd rather not create more paperwork for myself.

So make sure you get off your butt and get it done if you haven't already.

Surprise? Irish Songs are most popular this week!

This is not me in green but it is Leprechaun Joe!

I was looking at the page view statistics for the OurWholeWorld.com
website and I noticed that this week the #1 most popular page on the site
was the Songs Irish Chords page.

Considering that it is the week of St. Patty's day I guess a lot of people
were searching for Irish songs to sing.

I played 4 different one hour shows that day myself.
( I am a musician and singer solo act).
I spent more time driving to each gig than actually playing.

Back to the statistics...
The most popular song searched for was "Down by the Glenside" so who would have thunk it!
I would have thought "Danny Boy" might have been a more popular choice but no.
So it just goes to show ya! Well nevertheless it is a bit belated but you can find a bunch of
Lyrics and chords for Irish songs on the "www.ourwholeworld.com" website.

A few of my favorites are "The Wild Rover" and "Mairie's Wedding" and "I'll Tell My Ma", as
well as, well just about all of them.
If you have any interest in Irish traditional songs then spend some time there and you can learn
the lyrics and play the chords for them. The best part is the price... $0.00

It isn't just for entertainers but for activity directors as well.
The purpose of the site is to get people to respond to the site with opinions and ideas about how to better entertain the elderly.
