I've heard them all at least 100 times but don't know the names

"This is an exact copy of track no. 6 from The Mist Covered Mountain by De Danann,"

Perhaps it's not what you really meant, Henk, but it sounds a little like an accusation of plagiarism. It's more likely that it happened to be an 'in' set around Cork in the '70s and Jacky Daly (who played on the said album) introduced it to the rest of the band.

Re: Tune Names

No offence meant, I was merely thinking about the exact order in which the tunes are played. Your analysis may be spot on.
