about

Marla learned this unusual setting of the Morning Star from her friend Cait Reed, who got it from Paddy O’Brien one evening at a session at the Plough and Stars in San Francisco in the early 80s. Jimmy took a trip to Cullenstown, Co. Wexford on a recent winter voyage home and played this tune with harmonica player, John Murphy, the son of Phil Murphy who composed the reel. John owns a lovely pub, Colfer’s in the village of Carrig-on-Bannow, in the south eastern corner of Ireland, headquarters for the Phil Murphy weekend held every summer. Marla learned it from her friend Frank Simpson, who plays it infectiously in A on the whistle. The enigmatic Good Morning to Your Nightcap is one of those tunes Marla would take with her to a desert island. It was recorded by Michael Coleman in the 20s and rightfully enjoys great popularity.
