Re: Collections on Irish radio programs in America



Meaghan:

I'd recommend contacting the John J. Ward, Jr. Irish Music Archives in
Wauwatosa--a suburb of Milwaukee.  The Ward Archives includes the Michael
and Mary Comer Collection, documenting their weekly Irish "Echoes of Erin"
radio program, broadcast from Cleveland for more than 25 years.  The Comer
Collection includes more than 6,000 Irish recordings.  Contact archivist
Barry Stapleton at (414) 476-3378, or visit their website at
www.irishfest.com
