Butterflys Day Out for mandolin/misc. instr., cello and doublebass by OConnor is on the album "Appalachia Waltz" featuring Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer. The piece was one of the stand-out cuts, receiving a wide variety of radio play, and bringing the trios music to new audiences. Written originally for the mandolin, it surely is one of OConnors most memorable mandolin melodies. With the aid of Edgar Meyer arranging the fabulous cello and bass solo sections, the piece can be performed in a variety of instrumental settings. The mandolin part could be also covered by guitar, piano, harp or most any chordal instrument. The piece was named by a young music student at an inner-city camp for underprivileged youths. At his workshop, OConnor performed his new piece on the mandolin and asked for the kids to help him name it. The title, "Butterflys Day Out," helped OConnor complete his vision for the tune. The whole experience also inspired the idea for OConnor to start his own Fiddle Camps. The music is suited for advanced and intermediate levels.
