Just curious, getting heavily into this Celtic music stuff and wondering if ‘Humours’ in tune’s title indicates a funny story associated with the tune’s origins, or if it is a permutation of a jig/reel/etc in style or time signature?
Turns out most tunes with 'The Humours of…" in the title I quite like, don’t know if this is just coincidence though.

Here’s a link to a thread with the same question-- hope it clears things up!

P.S. Cute name, “Spittle.” 
I always assumed “humours” to be a dated term for the joys of a locale, including points of interest -and pints of interest, too.
I was getting warm with my first suspicion: “Humours” is the English word very often used in song titles to translate the Irish Gaelic word “pléarácaí” which means revelry, merrymaking, carousing, etc."
Thanks for the link Cara - I missed that thread somehow. As for the name, one might guess my tendency to over-salivate (not a desireable trait for a whilster/flautist). Nothing a close beer or coffee can’t help though
