23 Jan 03 - 07:02 PM (#873314) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Father Murphys From: Cluin I know a "Father O'Flynn's" jig. It's just a regular 6/8 double jig (in D), not a 12/8 slide, though. Never heard of "Father Murphy's". Had you heard it once at least? How did you know it was a slide? |

23 Jan 03 - 08:07 PM (#873389) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Father Murphys From: Malcolm Douglas A quick search via Google returns at least one reference to a 48 bar slide by the name of Father Murphy. I can't find specifics of the tune anywhere, though, including at J C's Tunefinder; which is now back after having been down all day. It isn't in the usual indexes, so perhaps it's modern or isn't very widely played. |

24 Jan 03 - 08:51 AM (#873712) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Father Murphys From: Banjo-Flower Cluin no I.ve not heard it at all & the guy who asked if I knew it was a bit vague as to whether it was a jig or slide(I think he'd had a little of the black stuff) thanks anyway at least I've tried Gerry |

24 Jan 03 - 11:37 AM (#873850) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Father Murphys From: Dave Bryant As far as I am aware "Father Murphy's (air)" and "Boulavogue" are the same tune. Besides being played as a tune, it is often used for songs - sometimes in variants ie "The old Triangle". |
