Good evening, all! Happy New Year.

On this date in History (the date I'm actually typing, not the one in the title thread, sorry 'bout that): In 1892, Annie Moore of County Cork, Ireland stepped off the steamship Nevada and was the first person to pass through Ellis Island,

which would later give people excuses to post songs about it: Celtic Thunder,"Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears"

or if you prefer, a slightly longer version with more orchestration: Celtic Women's version of the same song.

Happy New Year, TS....

Thanks for sharing a new fact, and the tunes.
