The Irish American Community lost a great leader and friend this past week.  Tom Looney passed away at the age of 81.  Tom grew up in the Irish village of Ballycashen in the town Kilnaboy in County Clare as the youngest of seven children.  He immigrated to the United States on 1960, was drafted into the Army in 1962 and married his wife, Bridget "Breege" Looney in 1966 and they remained inseparable.  In the 1980's, Tom and Breege took over the famous Abbey Pub in Chicago and featured new and established acts from around the world.  Tom was the President of the Irish American Heritage Center and helped acquire, finance and refurbish the center through Irish tradesmen.  Tom is survived by his wife, Breedge, daughters Siovhan and Dierdre, sons Patrick and Thomas and eight grandchildren.On today's show, we feature music from The Coors, Connla, The Tumbling Patties, The Chieftans with Imelda May, Katie Grennan, The East Pointers, Makem and Spain, The Town Pants, David Curley and Mike Broderick, Roy Buckley, Jiggy and Bagatelle.  It's all right here on WNDZ 750AM or live streamed on globalirishradio.com or on our website at www.windycityirishradio.com.

Severní tým se pokouší pomoct v chaosu a teroru, který se odehrává na Tichém žalu, ale po souboji s Makem a setkání s Abolethem jim zbývá jen málo sil, a tak se Theodor rozhodne pro drastický zákrok. A pak už nezbývá, než si to definitivně vyřídit s tím, kdo všechno zapříčinil - Prvním.

První fáze operace "impulzivní a ne úplně promyšlený útok na Tichý žal" začíná pokusem o odstranění druida Maka, který blokuje Lumovo enty a drží les na Tichém žalu pod kontrolou. Jedinou šancí na jeho odstranění je vylákat ho mimo jeho věž uprostřed města, což znamená první velký risk, který si skupina na ostrově dovolí. A hlavně - i pokud se jim povede nad Makem zvítězit, bude to znamenat, že Bolmiřani na ostrově definitivně zjistí, že je něco v nepořádku. Infiltrace věznice a dračí útok pak musí následovat co nejdřív!

In our latest Episode we talk to Rory Makem and Donal Clancy, sons of the Folk singers Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy who along with Liam’s brothers, Paddy and Tom are widely credited with popularising Irish Folk music in the United States and creating a boom in Irish Folk music back home in Ireland after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Listen for brand new music from Dublin singer-songwriter Chris Short Music​, birthday boy Glen Hansard​, Nashville's own Scott Mulvahill​ and Donegal man John McGrenaghan. Songs from Makem & Spain, Mike Denver​, Gaelic Storm​ and Mary Black​ of course help us along. We close out out the night with a true Irish tribute to the great John Prine​ featuring Nanci Griffith​, Mundy​ and the man himself among friends. He was a true Irish man at heart. Check out all that we do from our own home studios yet still on the air at WSBC 1240AM from 8PM - 9PM every Wednesday, And guess what, you can check out the podcast at www.windycityirishradio.com.

Kiss me I’m Irish? St. Patrick’s Day? Why is St. Patrick’s Day/Week/Month celebrated with shenanigans all over the world? Where did St. Patrick really come from (Hint, it wasn’t Ireland). And where do we come from? How did we really get to such a day of meaning so deep, that the Irish and almost everyone else too, celebrate it so boisterously? Not just for a day or weekend, but now, for the whole month of March? What’s the true, authentic Story? Our very first podcast shall tackle these burning issues, and really, what are shenanigans? Why do the Irish dislike the clover but love the shamrock and why they are different, and of course, no celebration is worth its Irish Sea salt, without music.  So, since everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, Sing Irish Men and Women, sing, with us!

Songs, Stories & Shenanigans The Invitation by Batt Burns Used with permission of Batt Burns Pull up your sugan chairs, my friends Close out the green half door And gather around the peat turf fire As we did in days of yore. I am glad you rambled in tonight, For the house was quiet and still. Herself was carding sheep wool, while I, my pipe did fill. There wasn’t a word between us, you’d swear a row was on. But memories were with us, of our children now all gone. To America and England, those lands across the foam Will they ever laugh and joke again, in our cozy Irish home? You’ve waked us from our reverie. Maybe it’s just as well. Before those memories saddened us, and a tear or two were shed. Your happy faces cheer us up. You’ve surely brought some news. And from my store of yarns, sure you all can pick and choose. Look to the blazing flame there, do you see what I can see, Dark heroes, fairy castles, warriors fighting to be free? There’s leprechauns and fairy folks, Oisin and Finn Mac Cool I can see them all so plainly there, from my little fireplace stool. Come back into the past with me as I speak of olden days When life was much more simple, and we all had purer ways. Oh there were no lounge bars or discos. TV we did not know. Yet we had fun and sport a plenty, in the Kerry of long ago. I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.  1st Generation.  So my roots go much deeper in Ireland, than they do in the U.S.  I never thought much about it, until I went to Ireland.  I remember the air, and the peace I felt, sitting on a stone wall, waiting for the train to Dublin and singing Kenny Roger’s songs with my sister Cathy. For me, a whole new valley of thought opened up.  The missing connection, the only time in my life I have not felt deep-core restlessness, of not belonging, was when I was in Ireland.  That feeling was not repeated until seventeen years later - when I went back.  In an abandoned and disappearing churchyard I saw wind-rubbed tombstones that carried the same names as I know well today; George, Hubert, Desmond (who died in 1698), O’Brien’s all.  Phillip O’Brien, my cousin, is the 11th generation to mind the hills and cows, milk the milk and sheer the sheep at Atteagh Mills. Atteagh Mills, near the town of Athlone, is in the Co. Roscommon, in south central Ireland. South Central LA it is not.  It is farm country.  His nephew is the 11th generation to mind the cows and sheep at Atteagh Mills.  The “New House” is 266 years old, older than this country, and the old house? Well, it is just old, dating back to the 1600s.  We have roots there.  I have never “walked the land” with my father, as so many memoirs deem essential.  Yet, I look out and see our ghosts, I hear their music, and that peace once again settles down, through my toes. I am rooted. Yet, only in my memory does the taste of belonging remain. The feeling of Ireland, nurtured by dances at West Side IA, bands, Sunday morning 78’s, then 8-tracks, before mass, and then Gaelic Football games and gatherings; Immersion at 3,000 miles.  My father left Ireland soon after playing for the 1951 All-Ireland winning Roscommon U-21 Gaelic Football team.  He was not the oldest son.  The first time he returned was for his mother’s funeral, 38 years later.  Through the roots of my past, I sometimes feel, that I never left.  Since the Beginning of Man, The Hours between the Coming of Night and the Coming of Sleep have belonged to the Tellers of Tales and the Makers of Music I grew up in a house immersed in Irish culture.  Growing up, the things I remember most are the frequent guests that we had stay overnight, when they were playing in Cleveland.  Bridie Gallagher, Dermot O’Brien, Glen Curtin, Noel Henry, Makem and the Clancys, Barleycorn as well: so many names, so many memories.  When I woke to the smell of bacon on a Sunday morning, I knew dad had brought the band home from the dance the night before, and the breakfast table was going to be full of stories from the road.  It was a great way to grow up.  As I got older, I started finding my own songs and singers that I loved.  The albums and 8-Tracks that I heard became my own songs.  One day my dad walked into my bedroom and said, “Johnny, we’re starting a festival, you’re doing the parking”. And he walked out. I was 16. The first few years, I worked the parking lot, parking cars and soaking up the sun, and the sun burn.  When I graduated from college, I started doing the food, and moved onward from there.  Because of the festival, dances and Sunday morning breakfasts, I became immersed in the music and, like many, I was deeply impacted by the message of Tommy Makem and how preserving and promoting the culture was so important, before it all fades away, and is lost, forever.  Being able to meet, talk to, and form friendships with so many performers who had impact on the music, and on me, really influenced my thinking.  My memories of the first festival are still very strong and I have so many cherished memories from the ensuing years, all related to the festival performers, many, like Tommy, now gone home. The volunteers and amazing, legendary afters parties and sessions are treasured.  In my mind, they shall live in infamy. I was hooked on the music and still, to this day, learn as many songs as I can; Songs in my head, songs always on my tongue, songs I love to sing, songs that tell stories.  We call them Folk Songs.   Many have negative connotations of that term. They don’t realize folk songs are the heart of rock n roll, of blues, jazz, gospel, country, and even rap.   For as Sean O’Casey said, in his Rose & Crown: Oh, and the folk-song, the folk-song, the gay and melancholy strains of the Irish folk-song, on fiddle, on harp, and on fife. And no folk-art is there but is born in the disregard of gain, and in the desire to add a newer beauty and a steadier charm to God’s well-turned-out gifts to man. In recent years, maybe as my strident side mellows and I meet people from all over the world in this writing life, I am more struck by the similarities in people than the differences.  Every culture has its own niches, its’ cool things that touch your soul, but the similarities, especially of emotion and defining values, are remarkable, and unmistakable. William Butler Yeats said: Folk-art is indeed, the oldest of the aristocracies of thought, and because it refuses what is passing and trivial, the merely clever and pretty, as certainly as the vulgar and insincere, and because it has gathered unto itself the simplest and most unforgettable thoughts of the generations, it is the soil where all art is rooted. Tommy Makem is the Godfather of Irish music. He wrote more than 400 songs, the anthem, Four Green Fields, of course, as well as Gentle Annie, Winds of Morning, The Winds Are Singing Freedom and so many other iconic songs, songs that are sung wherever the Irish gather around the world. They are the stories of our people, and today those songs are sung by Gaelic Storm, We Banjo 3, Lunasa, Runa and just about every popular Irish band performing today.  Our stories define us; our culture is a story-driven one, an oral tradition passed on generation to generation.  We pass the stories on so our roots, our history, our very identity stays vibrant and alive – you see it around you here and now - it is our connection to our past, AND our present. My story is not the only one I am trying to tell.  Tommy wrote Four Green Fields one day while driving down to Newry, in the Co. Down.  He saw a woman coming down from the fields with the cows, to cross the road.  They were both stopped at a British checkpoint.  Tommy watched her as he, and she, waited to go thru.  He could see the, Hassle, as the woman just wanted to get on across the road, to get on with her life. He wrote the first two verses then, and the final one later, when he got to Newry. Four Green Fields is a song full of symbols, in its simplicity.  The Four Green Fields symbolically refer to the 4 Provinces of Ireland: Leinster, Munster, Ulster & Connaught, which hold the 32 counties, most similar to our states.  The symbolic “fine, old woman” represents Ireland herself. What did I have? said the fine old woman What did I have? this proud old woman did say I had four green fields, each one was a jewel But strangers came and tried to take them from me I had fine strong sons, they fought to save my jewels They fought and died, and that was my grief, said she Today, the oral tradition is more readily available than ever.  Only now, it is electric!  Name the poem, story or song, and you can often find it on the internet.  This is an amazing this for our culture, and brings us full circle, because we can see more than just our viewpoint.  There are three sides to every story – your side, my side, and the truth: now we can hear more than one side of the story.  We can see the similar hurts, struggles, anger, joy and goals from a perspective never before available to us, and we can make our own decision, based upon a person, and their character, not their religion, or the place they were born; whether you were born in Boston, in Belfast, or in Bethlehem.   We can never forget, but if we ever want to move on, and we must move on, or be left far behind, we must see the similarities and common ground between people of a different perspective, no less relevant to them.  You and I, we were raised on songs and stories, we are Irish, that will never change.  We must always be aware of from where we came, and how we got to where we are today.  Don’t look back, we are not going that way is not an all-encompassing statement – it is simply a way to focus on our future.  No matter the internet’s ready providence of what it calls fact, we cannot forget the story,  We cannot forget our past, our traditions and the events and people that define us today. We just can’t let the things that defines our past, also be what defines our future. Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s own beliefs. Rather, it condemns the oppression or persecution of others. - John F. Kennedy He also said: “Mankind must put an end to war, before war puts an end to Mankind.” Old soldiers never die, but young ones do.  No matter from which side of the river that runs thru us we come, we are shaped by those with us, and those opposite.  When we strip away the mantles that we wear, we see men and women, not orange and green.  When we see Christians, not Catholic or Protestant, we see the hand of God. I’ve run out of time.  I hope you’ve enjoyed our very first podcast. I hope the poems and verse today shows how our similarities, tho often hidden, tie us together, more than the difference tear us apart. It is St Patrick’s Day, a day of great celebration and reunion, unseen anywhere else in America. I hope you have a great day of fun, respect, and reunion. There are many more songs and stories; I hope we will write new ones- of joy, of unification.  We are closer to a One Ireland, than we have ever been in 800 years.  We’ll save them for next time, March 27th, when we meet again, and move from our past, to our present day, and future.

You can send a written comment along with a picture  of what you're doing while listening. Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Kerrydan tweeted a picture: "Hi Marc! Really loved listening to this instrumental show on my brisk lunchtime walk along the Red River in Winnipeg, Canada. In between tracks, you'd swear you could hear the ghosts of Scottish and Métis fiddles joining in." Nash from the UK emailed: "Hey Marc, Tried to confirm my subscription and although I am taken to the “thanks for subscribing” page, I still have not had the sign up email / zip for the albums. Waited a few hours, put your address in the contacts, but no joy yet. Maybe there are some leprechauns at work....? Nice podcast – just a suggestion. Could you put the tracklist / artist in the show notes? It’s great that you play a few songs back to back to not interrupt them, but by the time you then announce the artist / track name, I sometimes struggle to match them up." Hey Nash, thanks so much for writing. If you signed up to the email list and did NOT get an email back, I'd suggest you check your spam folder or trash. I don't know what those leprechauns are up to, but they can be troublesome with email. One more suggestion for everyone who is subscribed, reply to one of the magazine emails. That will hopefully insure that future emails go straight to your inbox and not to your gmail promotions or anything like that. As for the podcast suggestion, Nash, everything you mentioned is there. If you look at your podcatcher, you should be able to find all of the tracks and time listings for the artists in the show. If you can't find them there, please let me know. But you can also find them on our website at celticmusicpodcast.com Jim & Judy Wolfe emailed about the Flute/Whistle special idea: "Hey Marc, been listening for many years and one band I discovered on the podcast that fits the bill is Flook. Sarah Allen’s flute, and Brian Finnegan’s whistle are great examples for you to consider. Keep up the good work." A few episodes back, I suggested a flute/whistle episode might be in order. So I decided to set that up as our new Patreon Milestone. We are thirty dollars away from a 2-hour Celtic Flute & Whistle special. Chrissy Willow emailed: "Hey, Marc! I followed your podcasts years ago until Google Listen was retired and lost track of you. I'm so glad to see your podcasts on Google Play and have begun following again! The reason I write is because I'm trying to locate a song you played years ago. It was a ballad of a woman who walks the strand and calls up storms to dash the sailors' ships on the rocks. I've searched all over the place but can't find it, and can't remember enough of the lyrics to help. Thus, I'm hoping you might remember the song. Thank you so much for bringing such wonderful Irish music to my life. Have a lovely Saint Patrick's Day!"

In Episode 49, we sit down with Mickey Spain, an Irish folk singer/songwriter of Makem & Spain fame currently living and performing in Scranton, and his wife, Erin. He opens and closes the podcast with a few songs (and even throws a children’s song in the middle) before his upcoming shows at the Tomato Bar & Bistro in Pittston on March 3, Kilcoyne's Bar in Scranton on the first Saturday of every month, The Keys in Scranton on March 16, McCarthy's Red Stag Pub and Whiskey Bar in Bethlehem on March 17, and the first-ever Steamtown String Fling at the Scranton Cultural Center with The Dishonest Fiddlers, Brother Roy, MiZ, and Christopher Kearney on March 23. Before and during the interview, we drink Beer Boys crowlers of Harvest Ale, Rubaeus Raspberry Ale, and Mosaic Promise Ale by Founders Brewing Company, a favorite of ours that always delivers solid brews. We talk about Mickey growing up in Manchester, New Hampshire; how his father, being surrounded by folk music, and an injury got him to pick up a guitar; performing with his brother and forming Makem & Spain; how he met his wife and why he moved to Pennsylvania; recording with folk heroes like Tom Paxton, Roger McGuinn from The Byrds, Jonathan Edwards, Gordon Bok, David Mallett, and Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary; whether or not you should meet your heroes; his relationship with his younger brother Liam; his inspiration and songwriting process; creating songs for kids and an interactive program for elementary schools; memorable people and places from touring the world; his initial reaction to the madness of Parade Day in Scranton and if the focus on drinking plays into Irish stereotypes and takes away from the celebration of the culture and heritage of Ireland; Erin’s work with the Parade Day committee and their attempt to clean it up over the years; Kilcoyne’s bringing Irish music back to the area after the closure of The Banshee with monthly shows; house shows and the general accessibility of his music; joining the stellar Steamtown String Fling lineup; his first open mic experience at NEPA Scene Rising Talent and how much he enjoyed meeting comedians and fellow musicians; and more. We also answer some questions and react to comments from live viewers, discussing Mickey’s musical influences, his beard, and forthcoming gigs. The award-winning NEPA Scene Podcast covers arts, entertainment, and the issues that matter to Northeastern Pennsylvania. It airs as a live video stream every Wednesday at 7 p.m. on NEPA Scene’s Facebook page and is available afterward on iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher, YouTube, and nepascene.com.

Ronnie D'Addario began singing and playing, including bass guitar, professionally in his early twenties. He grew up listening to 1960's pop music.  Ronnie played guitar with Tommy Makem of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem fame for two decades in concerts, recordings, and TV shows.   His credits include an appearance on the Rosie O'Donnell Show, TV commercial jingles, and six PBS shows with Tommy Makem (where he performed with Judy Collins).  He also produced the album, Live At the Irish Pavilion, a favorite among Makem fans, and has produced several other artists including Morning Star, Mary O'Dowd, Danny Quinn, and The Irish Mist.  His song, "Falling for Love," was recorded by The Carpenters in 1981.  His song,”Take In a Show” was featured on the TV Sitcom, “New Girl” in 2017. Ronnie is the father of Brian and Michael of the Lemon Twigs who have recently toured the US, Europe, and Japan after the release of their first album, Do Hollywood.  An article in the UK Guardian said the song "These Words" from that album could be a missing track from Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything? album.  They recently brought out Rundgren at Coachella to perform "Couldn't I Just Tell You" as an encore. The Lemon Twigs regularly perform their dad's song, "Love Stepped Out," from his first album, Take In a Show.  Ronnie's last album is called A Very Short Dream.   Ronnie has just finished a brand new album entitled, The Many Moods of Papa Twig.  His music is available on www.youarethecosmos.com.

It's hella helpful" Donna Holstine Vander Valk posted on Facebook: "Well, I've just happily pledged - I've been considering it a while, but when I saw you were $1 away from your goal.....well, it was just too tempting! Thanks for all your hard work. It is truly appreciated in Calgary, Canada." Annie Lorkowski posted on Facebook: "Hello Marc! You asked for photos from my recent Ireland trip... We took the ferry from Wales to Dublin, then the train to Galway, and a driving tour of the Connemara. We went pony trekking on the beach outside of Clifden, and visited the stunning Kylemore Abbey (here in the photo). I discovered your podcast after my first trip to Ireland, to keep the Irish inspiration in me until I got a chance to go back.

THE MAKEM & SPAIN BROTHERS are song collectors in the spirit of their forefathers preserving old folk songs and introducing a new generation to this rich musical history. The Makem's continue the lineage of one of Irish music's dynasties, begun by their grandmother Sarah Makem and father Tommy Makem, who is now considered an icon. The Spain Brothers learned Irish songs at their father's knee. This band of brothers have honed their craft over nearly two decades of international performances and are now a road-tested Irish vocal group. A host of various instruments and five male vocals, using precise three-part harmonies blend perfectly for what many describe as a wall of sound. RUNA draws on the diverse musical backgrounds of its band members and offers a contemporary and refreshing approach to traditional and more recently composed Celtic material. This award winning ensemble includes members that hail from Philadelphia, Dublin, Canada and Louisville, KY and have played with Solas, Riverdance, Slide, Clannad, Fiddlers' Bid, Moya Brennan, Eileen Ivers, Hazel O'Conner, Full Frontal Folk, Keith & Kristyn Getty, Barc�, T�ada, and the Guy Mendilow Band. The band won recently won an Independent Music Awards for Best Song in World/Traditional Category. The band recently released their third album, 'Somewhere Along the Road'.

Kenzie joins me on the podcast.  Today's song from Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits is one of my favorite.  Samantha Gillogly tears it up on fiddle.  Matthew Hughes adds some rocks out on acoustic guitar.  My friend Jimmy Rimmer aka Rimbo laid an awesome bass track last night that reminds me of a 70s rock band.
