It's a good point Mr H. It occured to me that Morris Tunes have words because the musicians couldn't remember how the tunes started. So they would say to the dances : Lads a Bunchum, how does that go? And the dances would sing "oh Dear Mother what a fool I've been ......."

The obvious question being how come the dances could remember them when the musicians couldn't. Perhaps musicians were who ever could play and turn up whilst dances needed to practice together a lot more.

Which, if you like, takes us to leeneia's point?

I have a another problem - sometimes I can start to play a tune and not know what it is. Age I guess
