HUMORS OF LISADEL (Pléaráca Lios an Daill). AKA "Humours of Lissadell." AKA and see "Musical Bridge (The)." Irish, Reel. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Lissadell is a place name from County Sligo, the subject of some of the writings of the poet Yeats. The tune was the composition of the great fiddler John McGrath (1900-1965) of Co. Mayo and New York, according to his nephew Vincent McGrath, and was originally titled "Musical Bridge (The)," after a structure in Belmullet. However, other's dispute the claim for McGrath. Breathnach (1963) notes that Boston button accordion player Jerry O'Brien has a setting of this tune in his Irish Folk Dance Music (168). The tune was popularized by south Sligo fiddler Paddy Killoran [1] (1894-1974), an immigrant to New York City.

Source for notated version: flute player Éamonn de Stabaltún (Ireland) [Breathanch]; fiddler Fred Finn (1919-1986) (Kiltycreen, Kilavil, County Sligo); Frank McCollam (Ballycastle, County Antrim) [Mulvihill].
