Bob Halligan, Jr. is the epitome of a rags to riches story, starting life in an orphanage to becoming one of the most respected songwriters in the business and that's just the tip of the musical iceberg of who this S.U. prof is and what he's accomplished.

Eavesdrop and learn what exactly is just a short drive down the Thruway.
