ugh. everyone questions me when i mention it. no one seems to know what it is. its like a recorder, just sounds more irish, and the fingerings are a bit different.
Hey great song choice for this holiday. Good job. I remember the first time I heard this tune was when it was the theme song for an old 1950's TV sitcom, Make Room for Daddy starring the late,great Danny Thomas. I've always loved that tune and it always stirs up some memories. Like I said, good job on that and thanks for sharing.
known as the "colorados valientes" or "los san patricios", they were some hundreds of irish men that fought along the mexicans against the american army during the mexican-american war. John Riley was the leader of this brigade :)
they were first irish men fighting in the american army but they deserted and joined the mexican army. They fought and died on this land. The americans used to fear a fight when they knew the san patricios were on the other side. Most of them were hanged for desertion when the american army won the war and captured them.
Awesome!!! Thanks for posting:)

do does mexico celbrate st. patricks day? or is it called something else to honor "los san patricios"?
LesPaulDude999 2 years ago
unfortunately, its only celebrated on some cities in Mexico, especially near the locations of the battles that this brigade was in.
Near Mexico City, theres a monument in honor of these heroes.
Btw John Riley was signed up in the mexican army as Juan Reley ;) interesting info :P
