Windy City Irish Radio

This week on Windy City Irish Radio, Yankee Doodle Dandies, Tim Taylor and Mike Shevlin, explore the Irish influence on the Declaration of Independence and the founding of these United States of America in 1776. There were eight signers of Irish descent, with names such as Carroll, McKean, Rutledge, Lynch, Thornton and yes, Taylor. The boys celebrate our nation's birth with music and songs from none other than the great Jimmy Cagney, Scythian, folk music legend Pete Seeger with The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, The Tossers, U2 and pipes n fiddle (piob agus fidil) and mark the long strange trip it's been for the Grateful Dead on the occasion of their farewell shows at Soldier Field with songs of tribute from Celtic Dead band, Wake The Dead, Socks in the Frying Pan, We Banjo 3 and the man himself, Jerry Garcia with David Grisman. Join Tim Taylor and Mike Shevlin each Wednesday night from 8pm to 9pm CST on WSBC 1240AM Chicago, WCFJ 1470AM or listen to the podcast on www.windycityirishradio.com
