Show r i5 THE Page 16 Wednesday, March 15, 1978 Why The Shamrock? The O'Neils, the O'Sulli-vans, O'Sulli-vans, the McKelveys, the Mawhinneys "There used ;.Jo be big parties in Park City on St. Patrick's Day and the Finns and the Irish would get to fightin'..." revealed local librarian Violet Terry with a smile. f Father Pat Carley was out of town and couldn't spin a yarn or two about Ireland over a stout, so to the reference section, basic as it be, of the Park City library. Who is St. Patrick? I know-he know-he drove the snakes out of Ireland, but what snakes and why the shamrock? After a term of imprisonment imprison-ment accompanied by the familiar vision, circa 1.510 years ago, a Catholic priest got the notion to drive the ideals of the paganistic Druid priests off the emerald isle. St. Patrick baptized over 12,000 heads, founded over 360 churches, banished snakes and toads from Ireland, and brought night on his enemies. When he died, such festive wakes were held that there was no night for 12 days. The shamrock, a mere teaching device: "You tell us there are three gods and yet one?" queried the Druids. "Do you not see how this will flower three leaves united on one stalk and will you then not believe that there are indeed three persons per-sons and yet one God?" Even in the fifth century, Northern and Southern Ireland Ire-land began to argue whether the birthplace of the saint was situated in the northern or southern climes of the land of the leprechaun. I A little of the Big Band Era J comes alive every evening in the C est Bon Dining Room as Eric Lundberg turns out such tunes as "Getting Sentimental Over You," "Body & Soul," and "Sophisticated "Sophis-ticated Lady." Lundberg, who started plunking the ivories "way, way back," says modestly, "I like to play easy stuff. I just hit a note every now and C'est, C'est Bon" then so people won't think I went out for a smoke!" Mingled with the oldies from the 30s and 40s are old-time favorites such as "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head," "Together Once Again On Moonlight Bay," and, of course, "C'est, C'est Bon." Lundberg has taken his music world-wide, serving as cruise director for various passenger lines. He has also served as entertainment director dir-ector for the Lake Placid Club, New York; entertainment entertain-ment manager at Squaw Valley; cruise director for theMcCormick Lines; enter- fern 1 y e I HAL TAYLOR Pianist Eric Lundberg ASSOCIATES J P.O.
