"Dunmore Lasses", in Gaelic "Gearrchailiú an Dúin Mhóir", also known as<br> "Dunmore Lassies", "Morrison's Reel" and "The Road to Knock" is an Irish<br> reel in E Minor. The parts are played AB (Breathnach) or AA'BB' (Flaherty).<br> This tune is similar to "My Love is in America".<br> This tune can be played in either a fast or slow tempo.<br> Fiddler Paddy Carty recorded the tune as "Morrison's," perhaps named for<br> flute player Tom Morrison (1889–1958) who recorded the tune on a 78 RPM in<br> New York in September, 1927 (in a medley with "Manchester Reel" and<br> "The Castlebar Traveler").<br> The name Dunmore means 'the big fort', from the Celtic dun mor.<br> It was printed in<br> Breathnach's Ceol: A Journal of Irish Music, vol. 5, no. 2 (1982),<br> Breathnach's The Man and His Music (1997) and<br> Ceol Rince na hÉireann I (1963) and<br> Flaherty's Trip to Sligo (1990).<br> It was recorded Tom Morrison & John Reynolds (1927) (78 RPM),<br> Touchstone on The New Land (1982),<br> The Chieftains on Bonaparte's Retreat (1976),<br> The Chieftains and Ry Cooder on The Long Black Veil (1995),<br> Mick Maloney on Strings Attached (1980),<br> Tom Morrison on From Galway to Dublin (1992.
