New York City's Tin Pan Alley is known for the music of Berlin, Joplin, Waller, Cohan and others. What is not as commonly known is that Irish favorites such as "Sweet Rosie O'Grady," "My Wild Irish Rose," and "'Twas Only an Irishman's Dream" also emerged from this vibrant musical tradition. In 1912, the famous songwriting duo William Jerome and Jean Schwartz composed "If It Wasn't for the Irish and the Jews," a catchy song that celebrated Irish-Jewish collaboration in many aspects of American social, political and cultural life. What is virtually unknown, however, is that the creation of the song itself involved an Irish-Jewish collaboration. William Jerome was actually the son of Patrick Flannery, a famine immigrant from County Mayo, who changed his name when he saw trends in the song-writing business shifting from Irish to Jewish!
