Jimmy Keane and Pat Broaders gave us the album, Jimmy Keane and Pat Broaders! Of course, you know they form Bohola. Well, technically, their name is bohola, but that is another story.

THE story here is Jimmy Keane. It is not enough to say that he is easily the best piano accordionist in the history of Irish music. That doesn’t cover it. Jimmy could, and should, win Male Musician of the Year every year. He, as with Liz Carroll, Dennis Cahill and a few others like Kevin Henry ARE Chicago Irish music, and there is none better. The Japanese have different artists who their society officially recognizes as Living Treasures. Chicago ought to do the same, and the first should be Jimmy Keane. A master. Total.
