On October 9, 2009, Barnes & Noble Lincoln Triangle hosted an event for Alyn Shipton’s new book I Feel a Song Coming On: The Life of Jimmy McHugh, the first biography of the classic American songwriter. Tom Santopietro moderated a conversation with Alyn Shipton and McHugh’s grandson Jim McHugh, and Wesla Whitfield performed hit titles from the McHugh songbook.

For an audio tour of the Jimmy McHugh soundscape, listen to this week’s syndicated Riverwalk Jazz program.
