It was Luke Gardiner, later known as Lord Mountjoy, who spoke to the English Parliament after the Revolutionary War and stated, "America was lost through the actions of her Irish immigrants." In total, at least twenty of George Washington's generals were of Irish descent. Today, like so many times on this show, the question asked is just where would we be were it not for the Irish? Glory, Glory, Halleluiah, Windy City Irish Radio marches on! Join Mike and Tim as they celebrate the 240th anniversary of our nation's birth with patriotic music from U2, Derek Warfield, Gene Kelly, Ronan Tynan, Eileen Ivers with Niamh Parsons, Pete Seeger with The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and sounds of the summer season from The Corrs, Maura O'Connell, Gaelic Storm and Mundy. Happy Birthday USA! Join Tim and Mike every Wednesday night from 8PM - 9PM on WSBC 1240 AM or catch the podcast here www.windycityirishradio.com
