I named this tune after Michael O’Brien who passed away last year before Christmas. He was a frequent visitor at the sessions in Cryan’s and played far and wide and was a well known and regarded box player. He always had a welcoming smile and was full of energy. If someone decided to dance a few sporadic steps at a session, Michael would often leave down the box and jump up and join in for the craic.
