From the recording An Teachín Gorm (The Blue Cottage) .WAV
My friend Kenny Karabelnikoff often liked to play this first reel at our weekly session in Anchorage, Alaska. The two names I have for it are Mulqueen’s and Free and Easy. The second tune is by Billy McComiskey, the true name of which is Maureen Glynn’s Reel, after a friend of his who has now passed. The name I have given is more commonly used, originating in a disagreement during a recording session over who composed it! I got the last tune from the playing of the Sligo-based band Dervish. Dan Possumato — D/G box; Kevin Burke — fiddle; Teresa Baker — piano
