Michael Carley: Thank you for the information on the Murphys. I have located their names in a record catalogue. The problem so far being that it's only listed as available in the U.K. I suspect that I'll be able to find someone that imports it directly into the U.S. if i look hard enough. My apologies to the listers for my indirect communication with Mr. Carley. My initial attempts at direct communication have all bounced back. I'm sure that I'll solve the problem soon. I must say that Winslow's prodding me to take a look at a Green Linnet catalogue proved useful in the end. My recent reading of the Kim Field treasure Harmonicas, Harps and Heavy Breathers combined with the catalogue yielded a list of Irish harmonica music titles. Mark Graham being the missing clue I lacked. Kevin Burke, Up Close (suggested in Mr. Fields book), Kevin Burke, Open House. This one also has the Murphys playing on it. Patrick Street, All in Good Time, and Joe Ryan and Eddie Clarke, Crossroads. The last one is fiddle and harmonica duets. I don't claim to vouch for any of these titles because I haven't heard any of them. ^They're all available on Green Linnet records a wonderful company with a diverse catalogue. Oh, by the way I think the CD I originaly asked about is a Kevin Burke and Patrick Ball recording but I still don't know the name. I do think it's out of print in the U.S. though. Sorry for all the fuss about Irish harmonica. FJM
