What a generous gentleman - Irish culture needs people like him and the people who are being educated from this act of kindness should look at being future role models - well done - makes me proud to be Irish

The man is a saint and should be copied by every immigrant to the USA to enhance the arts and crafts of each of their home country's gift to their new home country. Our ancestors brought and fostered this idea to the masses without being rewarded other than their own self satisfaction. I suggest paying forward always wins.

"Martin O'Grady, who emigrated to New York in 1959, has selfishly given the musically talented and artistically inclined members of the Irish community in the Bronx..." Don't you mean Selflessly not selfishly? Who's editing here?
