Lovely playing by 'the master' - as usual. Funny to see how Mickey the Moulder ('composed by the Murphy Family') is just The Connaughtman's Rambles, apart from one note.
The first part of 'Porter for Three' is ver much alike the first part of the reel 'the Morning Star'.
'Barn Dances' also appeared on Burke's first recording, there called 'polkas', where Michael Coleman called them scottiches.....
'Frailach' is called 'Itzikel' on Kevin Burke in Concert.
I'm a big fan of KB. I had the 3rd Open House album for awhile before I got this one, which is the best of the 3 I feel. Maybe I like it better because it's all instrumental. Not that I don't like the songs on the others, but they make it a bit bitty for me.
Kevin Burke just sounds like he's having such a good time playing on this one. I think they must have been on a bit of a musical high when they made this one - and it shows. The fiddling is as artistic as you'd expect, and wonderfully sweet and exhuberant. It's becoming a real favourite.

Track 7 Gan Ainm
Any idea what the name of the first reel on track 7 is? It is very familiar to me, yet I can't place it.
