Featured Teller: Jim Hawkins "Going Across America with Billy Zuckerman"
Jim Hawkins, Storyteller/Actor/Musician and gifted teacher, was born in Astoria, Queens and spent 10 years of his early childhood in the Midlands of Ireland before returning to America in 1956. He has been charming audiences with Irish stories and songs - on this side of the Atlantic - for over 20 years. Many of the programs he offers deal with aspects of Irish history, culture and tradition. Tonight Jim takes us on a "ROAD TRIP" and recounts a hilarious episode from a story he calls "Going Across America with Billy Zuckerman." You won't want to miss this.
