The image of the Irish in the United States changed drastically over time, from that of hard-drinking, rioting Paddies to genial, patriotic working-class citizens. This title traces the change in this image through 700 pieces of sheet music to show how Americans' opinions of Ireland and the Irish went practically from one extreme to the other.
