Brian Laird on WNYC, and we're going to end today with little St. Patrick's Day call in on your Irish family's

immigration story from Ireland to here or from here to Ireland,

maybe even recently. Give us call or send us a text 212-433. WNYC, 212-433-9-6-9-2, your family's immigration

story to hear, or some people are under the circumstances in this

country as they perceive them, taking advantage of the opportunity to get dual citizenship

if they have Irish heritage and if you are even moving back there from what I have read.

So as your calls are coming in, let's listen to our caller from our pandemic St. Patrick's Day show.

Remember March 17th, 2020, as we've been recalling the fifth anniversary, several times on the show today in several different segments.

We called it the Parade of the Air,

the St. Patrick's Day Parade of the Air from 2020 because the real St. Patrick's Day Parade,

the in-person one was canceled because of the new pandemic. So let's listen to this caller who's actually going to play us a little tune

while your calls are coming in. I'm actually a Irish traditional musician. I'm from Alaska originally,

but I've lived here for about 10 years, and we've had all our gigs get canceled this year.

Did you call in with something to play for us? Yes, I'd love to play a tune if that's all right.

Oh, please. We're honored.

Great. So I'll play a tune called the Silver Spire, and it's actually in reference to the Chrysler building.

So this is just, this is for New York City. Music And as we listen to the fiddle playing from St. Patrick's Day 2020 on the show,

our phones are open for you to call in with your family's Irish immigration story,

whether from Ireland to here or from here to Ireland.

212-433.

WNYC, call or text, 212, 433, 9692.
