It's tunes, because one of them is one that we frequently play but tends to go off the rails when new players visit our session.
The variation of "The Frost is All Over" that we play is this one
Apparently this is some cryptic variation generally known only to veterans of the former Irish Heather Session, and to recent players who want to be their friend (like me). The end of the B-part is atypical.
The Old Copperplate is certainly a well known tune, but I can't recall the last time we played it. Most all of us play it, so I'm posting it here as a reminder that we should play it more often.

The variation at the end of the B part was introduced to the Vancouver scene by John Gothard who I believe learned it from Kevin Burke. It has always been a bit of a trademark for the Heather session, and we recorded it like that on In The Heather.
