When did we receive it? 13 April 2015

First of all, we would like to thank Sue - a listener to 'Proud to be Irish' - for sending us a copy of Andy Cooney's most recent CD; courtesy of the man himself. ;) Andy was performing with his band at the Petersburgh Veterans Hall earlier this month, and very kindly remembered us to Sue and sent along a copy of his latest CD for her to give to us. Sue, herself, thoroughly enjoyed Andy's show, saying that he and his band gave the intimate audience that was there, "two hundred percent in talent and enthusiasm."

Thank you so much, Sue, (and of course, Andy as well!) for sending us this CD, and we are absolutely delighted that you had such a wonderful time at Andy Cooney's show. We absolutely agree with you, Sue - Andy is a wonderful singer, and such a warm and all-around nice person to talk with! Thank you both very much for sending us this CD.
