Fall River (home town of that interesting lady Lizzie Borden) is a former mill 
town between Providence and Cape Cod waiting to find some way of having 
a renaissance (unfortunately it's not alone in that respect). Pre-covid there was 
a very good weekly session there, and this tune was written in honor of the 
musicians who had kept it going over the years. (FYI Lizzie's house was a bed 
& breakfast for a while, but it's been up for sale recently. Any bidders?)

Ireland certainly has its share of beautiful women (including the one I married) . 
Most counties have a tune to proclaim this fact (e.g."The Pretty Girls of Mayo") 
but since I couldn't find one for Fermanagh, I thought I'd compose my own! 
(The truth is that I couldn't find ANY tune with "Fermanagh" in the title, with

There might be people who have done more for Irish music in the Boston area 
than Larry and his family, but I sincerely doubt it. Irish culture in general, and 
CCE in particular, owe a large debt of gratitude to Larry for his untiring efforts 
on their behalf over the years. Larry passed away in October 2012 and this tune 
was renamed at that time. (Larry's son Seán, a fine fiddler like his Dad, has the 
instrument now, so it's in good hands!)

Around Saint Patrick's Day of 2009 we did a session in a local Chinese restaurant. 
I was pretty convinced that the management had no idea what I was talking about 
when I asked about playing there, but they heard 'music' and figured "what the 
heck" (or whatever the Mandarin equivalent is). As it turned out we had about 
eight musicians playing in a space in front of the fish tank that could accommodate 
maybe three comfortably. The patrons were naturally surprised (Irish music in the 
Peking Palace?) but seemed to enjoy it, as did the fish.

Fishamble Street is a little street near Dublin's Christ Church Cathedral that 
is remarkable for one thing : its "Great Music Hall" was the site of the first 
performance of Handel's "Messiah" in April 1742, a year prior to its first 
performance in London. It was expected to be a great success - in order to 
ensure room for everyone in the hall, gentlemen were requested not to wear 
swords and ladies not to wear hoops (good advice even today!) The "Great 
Music Hall" is long gone, although the building evidently still remains.

Phil Taylor is the man responsible for the "BarFly" ABC program that I have 
used and really come to appreciate over the years. He has been very patient 
with my questions and suggestions, and this tune is by way of thanks to him 
for that patience and for all the work he has done for ABC. Unfortunately 
it appears that Apple's constant tinkering with its operating system has rung 
the death knell for BarFly. Although there are now some really fine apps
that do a great job with ABC (wipes away a tear), there will never be 
another "BarFly".

in the heart of Dublin's Liberties. My best pal (for the past 50+ years) grew 
up there. We went back for a look recently (June 2022) and unlike in other 
parts of Dublin, nothing much around Bride Street has changed (or at least 
not as much). I hereby dedicate this jig with as much love as I can possibly 
muster to . . . my Girl from Old Bride Street!

"Ernestina" (officially "Ernestina-Morrissey") is a Grand Banks schooner 
with a long and illustrious history. For many years she was homeported as 
a museum ship over in New Bedford. She's just completed a lengthy overhaul 
and has returned from Maine to New Bedford to take up residence once again 
and do some coastal cruising in the Summer. My wife and I did a voyage from 
Boston to New Bedford on her a while back, and it was indeed an unforgettable 
experience.

This tune is named for the Boston pub which proudly hosted the longest-running 
(and most consistently respectable) Irish trad session in town. I'm pretty sure I was 
at the first one in the early 1990's along with Larry and Mike Reynolds, Joe Joyce, 
Jimmy Hogan, Fergus Keane, and a host of other "local legends". The session had a 
great run, but the pub was sold, and the last session held there, in November 2019. 
(I was at that one too) . The pub deserved its great reputation, but you have to wonder 
if it would have survived the pandemic (as so many other Boston pubs didn't, sad to 
say) .

In the old days you would throw a half-penny coin off it for good luck. In these 
days of the euro, I'm not sure what you'd throw (and maybe you'd be arrested 
for "causing environmental damage" to dear old Anna Liffey if you threw 
anything at all. Safer just to take a few photos and a selfie or two.)

Falmouth's Highfield Hall was in years past the residence of the Beebe family, 
great benefactors of the town. In the course of time, the building fell into dis-
repair, but it has been lovingly restored to its former glory through the efforts of 
many hard-working people. It's definitely worth a visit if you're ever in this part 
of the world. To date we have done five concerts there, all well-attended and we 
hope as enjoyable for the audience as they have been for us. The Hall is a delight-
ful venue that we look forward to visiting again.

%%The "Horace" of the title is Horace Thayer, husband of Martha, a fine fiddler 
and one of our Cape Cod session regulars. Horace has been doing the Project 
Bread "Walk for Hunger" for forty-plus years. The walk is about twenty miles 
(hence the other word in the title) and Horace and his colleagues do it rain or 
shine. Over the years we have raised a few dollars for Horace (by playing tunes, 
not actually walking, which is too much like exercise for the average musician) . 
Our session raised almost $3000 for this year's effort (2025).

Even I admit that this is a weird tune. Joe and Willie Kelly - bless their 
hearts - took it seriously enough not only to learn it, but to make it sound 
good - no mean achievement! *** "Lanacane" is a rather obscure parish in  
South Louth famous (perhaps too strong a word) for its transient population 
of fruit bats. Apparently the place name derives from Gaelic "lán" meaning 
"full of" and "Catháin", a family name usually translated as "Kane". 
However no Kanes have ever lived in this parish, a fact which only adds 
to the romantic mystery that the local tourist board is desperately trying to 
generate.

The Shackleton Expedition to the South Pole in 1909 included a young man 
named Hussey. For reasons best known to himself, Mr. Hussey brought his 
banjo along, and he is responsible for the discovery that the sound of the 
banjo playing Irish music would attract penguins, while other types of 
"Celtic" music repelled them (no kidding!) . Penguinologists and musico-
logists have been unable to make much sense of this (although Irish trad 
musicians might have their own theories). But - as they say - the research 
continues (or will continue once funding turns up).
