One of the timeless classics by Ireland's most noted itinerant harper, Turlough O'Carolan, arranged for modern lever harp. O'Carolan was most known for this Planxties and musical portraits written for benefactors and people of importance in his life.  This one was titled after Tomas Muiris Jones, Squire at Moneyglass House in Co. Antrim. Carolan and Baron Arthur Dawson happened to be enjoying together with others the company of Squire Jones. Carolan was asked to compose a song in honor of their host and upon retiring to his apartment, took his harp with him where he composed the melody called Bumper Squire Jones, to honor and thank him for his hospitality.
