Hello Friends, It gives me my greatest pleasure to bring you my 58th New York Irish Hour. It's been a quiet couple of weeks concerning new recordings so I decided to feature an Irish Musician from NY Billy Keenan.

Billy has written a book about his life and his journey back. Have a listen to his story and his music... His story will have you on the edge of your seat.
