Back to Dan Sullivan's Favorite (2)
DAN SULLIVAN'S FAVORITE (Rogha Dhónaill Uí Shúilleabháin). AKA and see "Gypsy Hornpipe (7)." Irish, Hornpipe. G Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The melody was recorded by County Kerry fiddler Michael Hanafin for Columbia Records in New York in 1927. Hanafin was a member of Dan Sullivan's Shamrock Band (hence the title), a Boston based group led by pianist Dan Sullivan (whose fiddling father is mentioned in O'Neill's Irish Minstrels and Musicians). In the late 1940's the tune was recorded and published in Boston by button accordion player Jerry O'Brien (mentor of Boston's Joe Derrane), albeit under the title "Gypsy Hornpipe." See also a Cape Breton version under the title "Doug MacMaster's."
