O'Carolan's Concerto for me. Actually this is the first song I've learnt and played at my first session, and still continue to be my favourite.

Is "March of the King of Leise (sp)" an O'Carolyn tune? If not, then I'll have to say Hewlett or the concerto. It's interesting that almost all of us picked those two.

Is there a book with all of his tunes?

March of the King of Laois, aka Rory O More is not an O Carolan tune. There are several collections of O Carolan tunes. Check the on-line web stores.

There's also a nice version of that on the first 'The Drones and the Chanters' CD played, I believe, by Paddy Moloney.

"Name the Best O'Carolan Chunes"

What's wrong with the names they have?

Forgive me if someone already mentioned this, but Planxty Charles O'Connor played as a jig ala Frankie Gavin.
