A lyric fragment, sung to the tune, eg 'All the Night I Lay with Jockey in my Arms', or
-failing this - a dummy lyric including the title, can help - make up your own examples, as daft ones of your own invention stick better. Remembering the first bar or 2 of the tune, with the sound of yourself announcing it out loud before you start to play it, can help too. Remembering sets of tunes in order like Morpeth Rant/Jock Wilson of Fenton/ Cheviot Rant, or Hesleyside Reel/Roxburgh Castle can peg one to another usefully. But everyone's memory works in a different way - find what works for you. Don't try to learn a whole tunebook full at once - start with 2 or 3 of your favourites.
