hi mary, as well as Helen. I'm sorry I didn't see you there.... Nice to see you! Thanks for coming you guys if anyone decides they want to eventually be seen on camera raise their hand and i will uh eventually get you situated hey paul can i have my phone sorry to bother you thank you and then we're good! cool this is watch the world unfold okay so so a flower you feel more just like a weed driving through driving through where you were going back the windshield's always dirty and you never get to see what makes you think this will ever get better what makes you think you deserve to know who are you really are you so important take the lift watch the world watch the world you need advice need advice you have no clue what you're doing moral compositing spinning an identity there's so many opinions and they're all a little different and the outlook's getting dim what makes you ever think there what makes you think you deserve to know who are you really are you so important take a look around and watch watch the world unfold watch the world fun you feel more just let go there you go um hey polly i have a question i forgot to press turn on original sound it's in the top corner so any of you could do that it's all the way up to the left yep just press the turn on original sound there you go cool okay let me know if that sounds alright i um so that is watch the world unfold and oh and then one more thing paul i'm gonna need your help in between songs because i can't move um at the top see that person with their hand up in the corner over here here's paul by the way um see right over in the corner there's like a little yellow hand yep um go down to see where that lady is up one more right where her yellow hand is gretchen yep and press more and promote to panelists yep cool okay so gretchen is now a panelist so you can be seen on camera so uh i'm very glad that you guys decided to join me today um this next tune is um probably one of my favorite irish fiddle tunes it's called swallowtail jig it's one of the first that i learned and so i would play it at celtic dances we did a lot of um kaylie's i guess is another word for it or there was you know the traditional dances where you have a big group of people and i would be in the band and we would play this song like for 20 minutes straight it felt like and so by the end your hand would be falling off but it is a fun one to loop and when i loop it i picture basically like a boat on the water um it's like a kind of a melancholy melody so this is swallowtail jig cool here we go so so so so so foreign so so so so there you go that is swallowtail jig it's a favorite irish tune of mine um and super classic but you can rework it with a looping pedal which has been a very fun part of the musical journey if you're a musician and you haven't tried looping i would highly recommend it because it's just a lot of fun so um the next tune i'm going to do is called let it go but not let it go from frozen uh let it go that i wrote many years ago a year before frozen came out in fact so i don't know and then later in frozen two they came out with lost in the woods which is another name of one of my songs but i also wrote before the frozen movie came out so i don't know what is with our like brain synergies or something for naming songs but that is a weird thing that's happened twice now so this is let it go then i'll do a couple more cheesy jokes if anyone has a cheesy joke that they would like to share feel free to put it in the chats uh always is appropriate of course but i'm always open for new ones maybe it's one of the ones i googled earlier this week so who knows here we go do foreign when the smoke clears when the dust settles where do you go who do you know when the damage is done and it blasts out the sun to whom do you run to whom do you run let yourself let it go the urge to help yourself let it go you carry when the bitterness creeps in how do you keep it under control from robbing your soul let yourself let it yourself okey dokey so that is let it go thank you uh thanks for listening um that's tune is like maybe this second song i ever wrote it was an early one um i see a new human has arrived and i'm wondering if anyone wants to be on camera if you want to be able to be shown at the top of the screen to see all the other people raise your hand with that little raised hand feature and i will let you in um otherwise i'm going to do a couple of jokes well well i see if anyone wants oh somebody said this person is better than the frozen version that's good thank you that's very kind of you hey paul there's one other person to let in it's michael kieran up on the top the little hand figure people maybe move the headphones that's probably why they're making making it mess up ooh do not end meeting scary click um cancel for that and then there you go yeah um nope uh more yep and then make panelists there we go cool thank you sweet michael's in if anyone else changes their mind i'll ask again in a few songs so here we go a couple couple cheesy jokes for you st patrick's day themed what do you call an irish spider patty longlegs i know they're technically not spiders but i don't care i still liked it um uh what do ghosts drink on saint patrick's day booze get it um why shouldn't you iron a four-leaf clover you might press or look okay i'm going to leave more for the future these beautiful jokes and i'm going to do an irish tune called boys of blue hill but first andrew has a joke why did the leprechaun change his shirt after lunch because he'd been wearing the top of the morning oh he's been okay good job thank you andrew anyone else have jokes they can put him in the chat i'm a big fan of that idea so i see uh gail harry you just arrived and it's so nice to see you guys if you decide after this song but you want to be up on the camera just raise your hand and i'll have paul make you a panelist um so here we go this is boys of blue hill this is definitely irish i introduced it as english one time at a show in ireland which was a big mistake and they the whole audience was like whoa you could hear like audible growling noise and i was like oh my gosh what did i just do and then after the show most of them in the audience came up to tell me all the origins of like the origin stories of that song so it is not english it is irish boy is a blue hill uh so so so there you go this is boy is a blue hill traditional irish tune that i really like playing it's kind of hard to be in a bad mood when you're listening to that song in my opinion it's a happy one um now i'm gonna let's see maybe i'll do a couple of jokes because then i'm gonna plummet us into despair so don't want to do that with jokes right afterwards so this one why do we wear shamrocks on st patrick's day because real rocks would be too heavy um what do you call a leprechaun with a sore throat a strepricon uh let's see if there's any one other good ones i don't want to give them all away so i'm going to save a few okay so this is someday we'll linger in the sun it's the song i entered into the tiny desk contest if anyone wants to be on camera again raise your hand and i can have paul let you in as a panelist otherwise here we go this is someday we'll linger in the sun oop i see a hand polly yeah it's megan at the top of there with the yellow hand cool people like speculate whether or not you're real by the way in the more section paul because somebody oh somebody told me yep that they are like i wonder if paul's actually real cause all you ever see is his hand there you go but you are actually real okay here we go this is someday we'll linger in the sun so it seemed a lie and i love you and i love you it was the most scared i've ever been you held my hand until the end and i love you and i love you don't tell me we've got time the subtle season of life it slips away when nearly too tight to carry and i love you and i love you and i love you and i love you foreign there you go um that is someday we'll linger in the sun um i'm gonna do another uh we're like a little over halfway through this set i'm gonna do a traditional irish fiddle tune now because this is the saint patrick's day theme show although our house i guess we have sheep in the background we don't have any like decorations except for christmas decorations i realized today and so we have sheep so i think that's okay we're covered for our decor but i'm wearing the only green piece of clothing i own so that's another thing i don't have enough green apparently so this tune is called south wind it's a waltz i love irish waltzes i think they are beautiful and i could just play a whole set of them someday maybe but this is one of my favorite ones south wind i'm gonna need some more jokes i think so if anyone has any just put them in the chat because i only have like two left i think i blew my wad too early in the show so here we go this is southwind so you um so so there you go that is um my oh that is my rendition of south wind so there is a um another joke here in the chat by andrew how did the irish folk musician evade the cops she gave them the swift jig so thank you for that i appreciate the jokes um if anyone else wants to come on camera just raise your hand and i will see your little hand pop up and i can put you in as a panelist or paul ken i guess um otherwise let's see what's up on the list next oh this one so this is the sing-along song bird song i figured since i can actually see some of you um at least you can be singing at home and i can sort of feel like i've been doing this song on youtube which is fine and it's fun to do but i can never see anyone singing at home so hopefully you'll sing along with me i'm going to teach you how it goes so this is a song that is a duet so i'm going to start the loop and then we're going to come in together and we're gonna sing this line twice i mean you'll have to stay muted because otherwise uh technological disaster will ensue but at least i'll see your mouths moving hopefully so we're gonna come in and sing this together twice we're gonna sing bird why do you sing fate has clipped your wings so the words are bird why do you sing fate has clipped your wings and you're going to actually keep singing that same line over and over again until the end of the song when we end together um and then i'm going to do a bunch of other stuff at different points of the song so do we want to practice it at home once before we do the the real version so let's sing it together bird why do you sing face has clipped your wings cool okay so it's pretty easy uh so this is birdsong and it is on the it's like the third song i ever wrote i think i did it on the murder of crow's album imperfecta with alan sparhawk and he was the duet part and then when i started touring i missed playing it so i figured out how to make the audience into ellen sparhawk for this song so here we go so why do you sing has flipped your wings there why do you sing you make me feel make me feel so free like i just came awake not afraid to be you make me feel like a bird in the sky fly round and round and i can't fall down you make me feel make me feel so free like i just came awake not afraid to be you make me feel like a bird in the sky you make me feel make me feel so free like i just came awake not afraid to be you make me feel like you're burning the sky fly running round and i can't fall down you make me feel make me feel so free like i just came awake got a phrase cool thank you so much for singing with me i saw some of you singing along which is awesome so um thank you for doing that i miss doing that show in a live setting but soon i mean not soon maybe eventually we'll be back to that but this is a pretty awesome alternative so thank you um i have a couple more tunes for you anyone got a joke andrew's been doing all the work on the joke gathering let me see if i have one here i'm gonna do one at a time so i don't waste them all what does a leprechaun call a man wearing green a green giant okay this is i wait uh it's a song i wrote about disability rights and um and how we need to make sure that people with disabilities are included at all levels of decision making in our society basically so um yes and um it's on my 2018 album learning how to stay and i'm trying to think what else i don't know it's a it's my like one song but it's very specifically about something specific and it's about disability rights so here we go it's nice to see you guys on here thanks for coming can you see me way in the back here i've been waiting i've been waiting in line it's been a long time can't get no service still i'm hoping i am hoping for a sign that one day things will change and we can finally take our place that history won't forget us or try to minimize our pain and so why wait and so i wait did you know that when i get angry i breathe my ear i can burn this place down you may not realize all of the small ways i am now welcome but just take a look around so everybody knows that you need a place to go and living isn't easy if you've been singing reach your home state i may seem angry so please forgive me but i am still not free in this society how long must we keep fighting for our right to be living wrongs over two for writing we're a bit too far given so if you hear them make claims of progress take a good bird and see who isn't there we need a seat now at the table so please invite us there you go that is i wait thank you thanks for listening and being here um if anyone else wants to be visible in the screen raise your hand i know we had a couple of new people come on in so if you want to be showing up at the top with everybody else um raise your hand otherwise i am going to keep going oh this is oh danny boy so in case you didn't know i included in the eventbrite and also in the zuma link to download the lyrics i'm not going to sing this one but i figured you might want to sing with my via win for or danny boy because it is saint patrick's day theme party so if you feel like singing along help yourself to the lyrics and sing away otherwise um this is just an instrumental one oh wait joke from mary did you hear that ireland is the fastest growing country it's always dublin i love cheesy jokes i don't know why i like them so much but i do okay here we go so do so me bye there you go um that is oh danny boy uh mixed in with i know a scottish song in the middle i'm sorry about that but i needed a transition to lower the looping pedal so um this is coming up on the last song here this is gonna be a scottish song that is much loved in ireland so i just call it celtic because if you pick a side you always get in trouble wherever you are so this is gonna be the parting glass this is the last song that we're gonna end on paul's gonna grab us a beer i think right yay we're gonna uh pint uh get a little bit of guinness here and do a toast but let me first tell you another bad joke this is very important um how can you tell if a potato is not from ireland when it's a french fry um let's see if there's any other ones i missed um oh yeah this was my favorite one i'm glad i didn't skip it what's irish and stays out all night patio furniture so cheesy but i love it so much uh yep i think that might oh well this one's really bad but i'm gonna do it anyways when does a leprechaun cross the road when it turns green so anyways uh let's do a toast before the last tune if you have a beverage if you don't paul you want to toast with me do you have a glass or anything no he doesn't want to be on camera i don't think you want to we're not in a hurry you want to get a glass poor paul he's a very nice husband um okay so we're gonna get a beer for paul too and then we will cheers does anyone have any good irish toasts someday will guinness in the sun that is very true andrew thank you um andrew you should consider a career in comedy that's my advice to you from this show so uh the irish toast that i remember was may so we'll do it together you don't want to be on camera so um auntie jeans up in the top can you see her auntie jean white there you go um so uh so may the best day of your past be the worst day of your future cheers i'm going to play the parting glass for you now before and then we can say hi to each other but this is very dangerous i'm going to put my beer all right next to my electronics maybe actually that's a terrible idea i'll just hand it to you actually i didn't want to electrocute myself so i'll grab my beer later thanks for hanging out with me uh let's do the parting glass and afterwards if you want to stick around i will unmute you all to say hello and chat a little bit if you want to so here we go so so so oh and is now i can't recall with you do oh so fell to me the parting glass good night and joy be with you all thank you happy saint patrick's day to all of you and thank you for coming um
