Over at thesession.org we had a discussion a couple of months back where we all made up silly names for tunes. It was great fun. One of my favorite ones was “Toss the Fiddles”. If there is interest, I’ll post the list here.

I must agree that tune names are very amusing. Also, just a thought, but wouldn’t it be a lot easier to distinguish different tunes if you had names for them (if not the correct name)?

I just did right here.

Then there’s the old joke…

How do you tell Irish tunes apart?


By the names.


If there’s no name, where does that leave us?

The best name I’ve heard from an old fellow in Galway playing a lovely button box was, “Ah…that’s the one that follows the one before it.”
