This case aside, the names of Irish tunes often have nothing to do with the tunes themselves. You might notice that all the tunes in O'Neil's have titles but that's because O'Neil arbitrarily assigned titles to those tunes that didn't have titles.

I was looking at the liner notes to fiddler Vincent Griffin's album and noticed that he did the same thing. Apparently he felt that a tune shouldn't appear untitled on an album.

Often, for me anyway, the title merely serves as a handle by which to remember the tune.
