In the "olde days" in Ireland, music was written and performed using traditional instruments like the fiddle and tin whistle. Emigrants from Ireland brought these instruments and repertoire to the United States, giving rise to what we know as Irish American folk music. Join Barry Wiesenfeld, Brian Conway and Tim Harte as they take you on a musical journey from Ireland to the New World.
*This program is made possible by a generous gift from Glenn P. and Susan D. Dickes to the AWPL Foundation.

World War I is frequently overshadowed by its successor, despite the Great War's own massive scale and impact. However, this was the war that moved America's status from a regional power into a recognized and respected world power. Often, history is discussed from the perspective of politicians, heroes and military generals. This program focuses instead on stories and feats of the men of Orange County, NY who fought to make the world safe for democracy.
