It's a grand tune, Mike. For many years I was immune to the charms of hornpipes but over time I began to find myself increasingly beguiled...

Murphy's is an old friend of mine. Probably one of the first tunes I ever learned.
I've been playing this tune for 10+ years but only very recently learned its name. There's another Murphy's Hornpipe, a 4-parter in D.
For the past few years, I've been playing these two together – the one in D followed by Mike Buessler's one in G – unaware (I think) that they were both called Murphy's! I can't find out any info on who Murphy is or was, but they are probably named after two different people (I've heard there is more than one Murphy in Ireland). The G tune is in O'Neill's; the other one seemingly first appeared in print in Breandán Breathnach's Ceol Rince na hÉireann in 1963. http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/MUR_MUT.htm

Hey, cool! Could you be more specific on which tune you mean in that list?
Are you referring to the Fiddler's Companion link I posted above? If you scroll down the alphabetical list, there are three tunes listed as Murphy's Hornpipe – mine is the 1st one, yours is the 2nd one (AKA The Dingle Hornpipe, The Kerry Hornpipe). The 3rd one is completely new to me.
