If It Wasn't for the Irish and the Jews
A Tribute to Irish & Jewish Influences on Vaudeville and Tin Pan Alley
A Concert Featuring
Mick Moloney
Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, Athena Tergis, Brendan Dolan, Billy 
McComiskey, Susan McKeown, and Niall O'Leary and special guest Cantor Arik Y. 
Luck of Beth Emet Synagogue will perform songs from Yiddish musical theater.

Famous for the music of Joplin, Berlin, Waller, and Cohan, Tin Pan Alley also 
generated such Irish favorites as "Sweet Rosie O'Grady" and "Twas Only an 
Irishman's Dream". In 1912 William Jerome and Jean Schwartz wrote "If It Wasn't 
for the Irish and the Jews". a catchy song celebrating Irish-Jewish 
collaborations in all aspects of American life. (William Jerome was actually 
the son of Patrick Flannery, an immigrant from County Mayo; stage star Eddie 
Foy was actually Edwin Fitzgerald; and Norah Bayes, beloved for singing "Has 
Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" was born Norah Goldberg.*) Join renowned 
musician-folklorist Mick Moloney and an all-star cast for a musical celebration 
of the endearing and unexplored story of good-natured ethnic flux, competition, 
and cooperation that left a lasting imprint on American popular music. -  This 
concert will also be presented as a live webcast.  -  Tickets are $18 for the 
general public, $15 for Northwestern faculty and staff, and $8 for students.

Pick-Staiger Concert Hall on the campus of Northwestern University.
50 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston, IL 60208
