Happy St. Patrick's Day
And we'll end our St. Patrick's Day Fest with a bonus video -- it's a four-song medley, from the original cast album of the Broadway show George M! which is based on the life of George M. Cohan. And I include it admittedly in part because it includes the earlier-embedded song "Ring to the Name of Rosie," which pops in third.
(Note: despite what the person posting this below writes, that is not Bernadette Peters in the first song of the medley. She was indeed in the show, as Cohan's younger sister Josie, but this first singer is Jill O'Hara, whose character Agnes Nolan becomes Cohan's second wife. Just to throw in a tidbit of Broadway history, only a few months later, Jill O'Hara -- a fine name on St. Patrick's Day -- graduated from this small role to starring in the musical Promises, Promises, and with co-star Jerry Orbach introduced the hit song, "What Do You Get When You Fall in Love?")
