A Tribute to Irish and Jewish Influences on Vaudeville and Tin Pan Alley. 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. 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.
