A Slight Miscalculation
In measure #2 of Part B, I don't believe that the high G is supposed to be there, as with the G the measure has nine eighth-notes, which is not in keeping with the time signature of 4/4 and would make it awkward if one is learning the tune for the first time. Also, I've always heard the C in that same measure played as a C sharp, but I think that the measure works with both the natural and with the sharp. Just thought I might point that out.
I like the tune, though; I've seen other versions without the triplets, and the hornpipe has less spring when played without them. As far as discography goes, Murphy's Hornpipe was also on The Chieftains' very first album, back from 1963 if memory serves, coupled with An Comhra Donn, or The Brown Chest (which, I note, is not present in The Session's archives).

Looks like all he's done is miss off the (3 from the start of the triplet (3efg.
