Singing From The Heart

<p>In January of 1961 The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem </p><p>appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and launched a revival of </p><p>Irish music that continued through the 1980s and 1990s with the </p><p>success of The Chieftains and Riverdance. Far from the Irish </p><p>music centers of New York and Chicago John and Joe Dady-</p><p>The Dady Brothers-worked out a version of this revival in </p><p>Rochester New York. This book tells the story of how the </p><p>brothers developed a distinctly Irish American mix of folk </p><p>Bluegrass and Irish music in the context of the tight-knit </p><p>multi-ethnic Catholic community of Rochester's old Tenth Ward. </p><p>A story of new music created without ever forsaking the </p><p>traditional ties of community John and Joe's life reflects not </p><p>only ethnic revival but also ethnic endurance. </p><p></p>
