Notes

The home of Matty and Bridie Murphy in the Neale (County Mayo). Ed visited there in '69 with Joe and his wife Mary Jo, (niece of the Murphys). The house was traditionally Irish: no hot water, no "fancy plumbing," only a full measure of love and genuine Irish hospitality. The Murphys follow the simple life and this left us with fond memories long after we returned to the States. May Killour House live on in this traditional tune dedicated to them by Ed.
