Just an illustration
- I have to add I am NOT a musician, but a singer.
I taught a tune to my wife some time ago (when in England - and we used it for a Morris Dance) that I called "Horse Music", (I mouthed and hummmed the tune and she transcribed it).
She in turn taught it to some other friends in the USA and played it at a few sessions.
Another friend heard and liked it and learned it - and then added it to the index highlighted above by Lynn W. as :
TIMÕS KERRY PONY. English, Morris Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning. AABB.
X: 1
T: Tim's Kerry Pony
M: 2/4
L: 1/8
R: polka
S: Tim Radford / Jan Elliott
Z: Transcribed by Bill Black
H: English traditional (morris dance)
K: D

NOT my tune, NOT my title, and the title has NOTHING to do with the tune.
