Dunphy's
I have this tune from flute player/piper Mike Rafferty and box player Mike Berry. Andy Kuntz has this: "Dunphy was a piper and one of Captain Francis O'Neill's sources, and O'Neill named this nameless tune after him. Although Dunphy contributed the melody it was known to another of O'Neill's sources, Father Fielding, had heard his mother lilting it, indicating some circulation in County Kilkenny." Its a piping tune and was recorded by Paddy Keenan and Jimmy O'Brien-Moran.

C Sharps?
I learned this tune from Majella Bartley when she was working on her Masters in Irish Trad Performance at the University of Limerick. This version is almost the same as hers except that the only C sharps she plays are the ones in bars 3 and 4 of the B part. It sounds really different to put the others in, but cool nonetheless. I've tried alternating between C sharps and C naturals in different rounds of the tune as a variation, and it sounds pretty neat. Of course, that doesn't work so well when playing with others unless it is planned in advance though, or you get some pretty weird dissonance!

Dunphy's (Hornpipe)
This is the first of two hornpipes (the second being "The Liverpool") on track 27 of Volume 12 of Matt Cunningham's CD series "Dance Music of Ireland".

Dunphy's
It also appears on SEADNA's Set Dances of Ireland vol.5 - but their version is a bit different, more like what Henrik Norbeck transcribed from Paddy Keenan (see Henrik Norbeck's site for the ABC).
