Andy Cooney's New York Irish Hour (58) The Billy Keenan Story, The Road to Resilience Jul 15, 2023

Show notes

Hello Friends,
It gives me my greatest pleasure to bring you my 58th New York Irish Hour. It's been a quiet couple of weeks concerning new recordings so I decided to feature an Irish Musician from NY Billy Keenan. Billy performed in the NY Irish Music scene from the mid 1980s until his most unfortunate surfing accident in 2013 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Billy has written a book about his life and his journey back. Have a listen to his story and his music... His story will have you on the edge of your seat.
