[IRISH MUSIC] When I was younger, to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, a bunch of us crazy kids would get together and drink a lot of beer and make this conglomeration that we called "St. Patty's Day Stew." It consisted of a ton of red meat, old red wine and spouting potatoes. Then, we'd lie around and trip out while watching Jimi Hendrix's Rainbow Bridge for the gagillionth time. Happy days. Now that we're all grown up and have more than $22 between us, we're gonna do St. Patty's the right way: a month in advance, three-course Irish meal, Guinness on tap, and authentic Irish music by Michael Black. Michael began his career in music by listening to his mother, Patty Black, singing around the kitchen during his childhood. His father, Kevin Black, was an accomplished musician from Rathlin Island, a remote island in the channel between Northern Ireland and Scotland. Bottom line—real Irishman, real Irish music. Cover: $15 St. John's (Fri, 7 p.m.); $10-$30 Mulligan's on the Blue (Sat, 6 p.m.). Call 874-1131 for reservations. [LILIANA BEGLEY]
