It makes absolutely no sense, the song - I Left My Heart in New Jersey! He's still recording! Yeah, Tony Bennett!

Jim continued: The first radio I ever remember getting enthused over was Alan Freed broadcasting (via disk I presume) on AFN Europe American Forces Newtwork out of Frankfurt, Germany. That would have been around 1956 and I was 12.

Great! I never heard them! I guess I was about 6 when music caught my ears, really!

Jim finalized:
From then on, I was hooked. But I was still Irish!

My Bro-In-Law is also Irish! But he's more into classical music! Happy Irish Day!

Best,
John
