OH JOHNNY BOY— Jersey City St. Patrick's Day Parade Grand Marshal John M. Burns Jr., belted out a rendition of "Danny Boy" that brought the audience to their feet at the Hudson County Irish Heritage Celebration in the Rotunda of the Brennan Court House Thursday evening. Burns' a cappella rendition of the beloved standard closed the program, which included the raising of the Irish Flag, citations for a host of honorees presented by County Executive Tom DeGise and Freeholder Chairman Anthony Romano, and Irish musical performances from local artists.
