RE: Jewish/Irish music

[Lipkowitz, Stuart <lipkowitz...>]

The Mayor's name was Brisco.  He used to show up in NY for the Saint Patty's 
Day parade.  The bagel makers used to dye the bagels green in his honor.  My 
father (oleveshalom) was a bartender in Columbus Circle used to dye the beer 
green.

Paul Gifford has tracked down some information about Isaac Isaacs, an 18th 
century tsimblist in Dublin-- see links below (search for Isaac Isaacs).  Also, 
unrelated (I think) to music, Dublin had a Jewish mayor at some point in the 
first half of the 20th century.
