I picked names by using the first thing that came into my head as soon as a tune was “done.” In this case it was Buck Mulligan’s Pub, where just before we had a great day (and night) of music with Gary Hastings, Conor Healy, Grainne Egan, Iarla O Domhnaill, Natalie Ni Chasaide, Maitiu O Casaide, Leonora Lyne, and of course my wife Christina Dolphin and daughter Saoirse. For some reason this tune, especially the end of the phrases, reminds me of the playing of Tony MacMahon, and an image of a wine glass on a piano comes into my head.
