"Morrison's Jig", in Gaelic "Port Uí Mhuirgheasa", also known as "Lyons' Favourite", "Maurice Carmody's Favourite", "Paddy Stack's Fancy Jig" or "The Stick Across the Hob" is an Irish (originally) and American jig in E Dorian. The parts are played AAB (Breathnach, Flaherty, Martin & Hughes, Tubridy, Vallely), AABB' (S. Johnson, Mulvihill, Songer) or AA'BB' (Harker/Rafferty, Mallinson, Spadaro). This well-known tune is named after the renowned Sligo-born Irish-American fiddler James "The Professor" Morrison (1891–1947), who recorded in the 1930's. Morrison did not compose the jig but rather obtained it from a Dromlacht, County Kerry, accordion player Tom Carmody who knew it as "The Stick across the Hob". Carmody in turn had learned it from his father, Maurice. O'Neill (Waifs and Strays, 1922) prints the melody as "Paddy Stack's Fancy Jig," named for the Chicago fiddler (originally from County Kerry) who made some 78 RPM recordings in the 1920's. "The Morning Dew" is a related setting of the melody in reel time. The tune was picked up by 'revival' musicians in the 1970's and in the Northern United States it has since been a popular for contra dances. It was printed in Breathnach's CRÉ 1 (1963), Flaherty's Trip to Sligo (1990), Harker's 300 Tunes from Mike Rafferty (2005), S. Johnson's Kitchen Musician No. 6: Jigs (1982, revised 1989, 2001), Mallinson's 100 Essential (1995), Martin & Hughes' Ho-ro-gheallaidh, vol. 1 (1990), Mulvihill's 1st Collection (1986), Songer's Portland Collection (1997), Spadaro's 10 Cents a Dance (1980), Taylor's Through the Half-Door (1992), Tubridy's Irish Traditional Music, vol. 2 (1999) and Vallely's Learn to Play the Fiddle with Armagh Pipers Club (197?).
