"Humours of Lissadell", in Gaelic "Pléaráca Lios an Daill", also known as "Humors of Lisadell" or<br> "The Musical Bridge" is an Irish reel in E Minor. The parts are played AABB.<br> This reel was popularized by a 1937 recording by Sligo fiddlers Paddy Killoran and Paddy<br> Sweeney, who titled it "The Humors of Lisadell". Lissadell House is a country manor in south<br> County Sligo, built in the 1830's for Sir Robert Gore-Booth. His famous descendants, the poet<br> Eva Gore-Booth and her rebel sister Constance Markiewicz, were born in Lissadell House, which<br> also figures in the poetry of W.B. Yeats. <br> It was printed in Breathnach's CRÉ 1 (1963),<br> Flaherty's Trip to Sligo (1990),<br> Mulvihill's 1st Collection (1986) and<br> Taylor's Where's the Crack? (1989). <br> It was recorded by Jim Rawl (Co. Leitrim) on The Coleman Archive, vol. 2: The Home Place (2005),<br> Seamus and Manus McGuire on Seamus and Manus McGuire,<br> Kevin Burke on Sweeney's Dream,<br> Jack Coen on The Branch Line (mistakenly labelled as "Lads of Laois"),<br> Liz Carroll, Martin Hayes & Eileen Ivers on My Love is in America: The Boston College Irish<br> Fiddle Festival (1991),<br> Jean Carignan on Jean Carignan Plays the Music of Coleman, Morrison, and Skinner<br> (appears as one of "Coleman Reels"),<br> Paddy Killoran on Back in Town (reissue of 78 RPM),<br> Joe Ryan on An Buachaill Dreoite,<br> Tom Healey & John Duffy on Memories of Sligo,<br> Seamus and Manus McGuire on Humours of Lissadell.<br>
