Heritage

[handsomejack]

Hey to all over there across the sea.
I'm attempting, in my usual half assed way, to complete an assignment over here in oh so sunny Ireland. Tis about heritage of all things. I need to hear the views of you fine fine folk in the new world.
What do you Irish-americans, or otherwise as I don't discriminate, know of Irish heritage? Is it all rubbish like green fields and little green men with pots of gold? or is it Irish folklore and legend? Do you guys know of Newgrange and the like? What do ye know of Irish music? What does heritage, Irish or otherwise, mean to you?
Look forward to your replies.
