The Irish Came To Kansas
49 ABC News has an article today on the first Irish immigrants to Kansas and their impact.
Joy Brennan, Folk Arts Program Co-ordinator for the Kansas State Historical Society says:
the Irish influenced Kansas in many ways, including culturally through food and music. The Historical Society has a fiddle brought to Kansas during the 1850s by the Limerick family.
“Mr. Limerick would play the fiddle around the campfire for entertainment, for his family. Probably Irish music was played on it,”

Actually… was that the Mr. Limerick who is responsible for the wave of jazz-fusion that came out of Kansas in the mid-1800’s?
Yea… I think that was him.
