My Irish roots have always loved Saint Patrick’s Day. Beyond that, my favorite color has always been green. This cute little Irish-flavored piece had to be composed sooner or later. It smacks of bagpipes and jigs, leprechauns and four-leaf clovers. For most of the compositional process, the title holder was “Shamrock,” but my wife’s snarky humor prevailed to provide the more satirical title that it has.
