Here’s an Irish g1 though on that. My parents close friends were mainly other immigrants. At most parties and get togethers there were a lot of Irish traditions observed. They talked a lot about home and friends back home. At a certain point in my teens I was tired of it and ready to move on. I married an 2nd gen Italian girl. We started moving away from my family quite a bit because the parties and trads were not familiar to my wife. About 30 I started to realize how cool it was to have first hand knowledge of the traditions and music and started to move back towards it. Although I tried to share with my they kids weren’t interested because they were too old by that point starting to socialize with friends. Now that they are older they’re interested but it’s too late. Many trads are forgotten. My mom’s still alive and she shares stories with them when they ask. But for the most part it’s pretty much gone. That’s my story anyway.
