Then there’s the whole group that is given would be titles like Roscommon International Airport (= plains/Planes of Boyle) but maybe we should not go there.
That’s how it works around here. “Do you have a name for that one?”,“I call that one Fred”
I learned one tune as “Justin Bieber’s hat”
This issue isn’t as common in the Highland pipe world, where there’s a far greater emphasis on publishing and copyrights.
So most Scottish albums give full copyright info on each piece, for example one track on a CD I have to hand:
Scottish Power
Selection
a. Madame Offsky (PM R MacLeod-Cop Con)
b. The Cat’s Dance ( R Abbott- Cop Con)
c. Martha’s Vinyard (D McNally- Cop Con)
d. The Clumsy Lover (N Dickie- Isa Music)
e. Reverie (M Saul- Isa Music)
f. Spirits Of Old Pultney (Lawrie- Public Domain)
g. Annie Grant (J Wark- Isa Music)
h. Bass Face (M Saul- Isa Music)
I. All Tied Up (P Greer- Andoc Songs)
All of the tunes having known composers, and only one in Public Domain.
One would think that all this care would result in the titles always being correct but it’s not always the case- one common and glaring example is a tune listed with two slightly different titles:
Pipe Major Tom MacAllister Or The Links Of Forth
Pipe Major Tom MacAllister Or The Links Of Perth
It’s often just called “Pipe Major Tom MacAllister” or sometimes just “The Links Of Forth”.
Personally, I’m terrible at remembering titles.
