BOIL THE BREAKFAST EARLY (Ullmuig An Prim-Beile Go Moc). AKA and see "Court Her Along the Road," "Lasses' Fashion (The)," "Peadar's Reel," "Wild Irishman (8)." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill, Stanford/Petrie, Vallely): AA'BB' (Harker): ABC (Alewine, Mulvihill). The reel is popular with uilleann pipers. Donal Hickey, in his book Stone Mad for Music (1999), writes that laughter was not too far from the surface in Slibah Lucahra (a Cork/Kerry border region), and that wittiness in both men and women was a valued gift. As an example he relates the yarn about a man who was being given his breakfast by a neighbor before he and the man of the house went to the bog to labor. 'How do you like your egg, Denny, hard or soft?' inquired the Mrs.-came the immediate reply, "Boiled with another one!"
