'''AROUND THE HOUSE AND MIND THE DRESSER'''. Irish, Slide (12/8 time).  D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Ciaran Carson references the title in his book '''Last Night’s Fun''' (1996), in regards to his observations on the spatial changes a room undergoes during a ceili:
<!-- REPLACE THE ABC CODE BETWEEN THE <PRE> </PRE> TAGS -->
<blockquote>
When a ceili is made the dimensions of the room change subtly as the
talk includes some news of the outside world. Music starts up, and the
dimensions alter once again as dancers take the floor and those not
dancing make space and squeeze up against each other, backs to the
wall. ‘Around the House and Mind the Dresser’. The room seems to
expand or contract in Tardis-like defiance of the laws of time and space. (pg. 114)
</blockquote>
House dances, popular in the years before the move to dance-halls in Ireland, were held in the central room of a cottage—the kitchen. Table, chairs, benches and other pieces of furniture were moved to the walls, leaving room for a set in the middle. Donal Hickey, in his book '''Stone Mad for Music''' (1999), recalls a time that Sliabh Luachra musicians Pádraig O’Keeffe and Paddy Cronin played a house dance in Cordal.  The hostess, noting her rather cramped quarters and seeking to conserve space for dancing, asked the pair to mount chairs set on the top of a table and play there. “Christ, Paddy,” said O’Keeffe, “we’ll g’up in the gallery”—and there they played.
