These are great tunes, very appreciated, as usual. You da man. But, technically, I think these tunes are slides.

Ok if you want to get technical, "technically" they are single jigs. A "slide" is a nickname for one of the dances commonly included in most of the popular Kerry-Cork dance sets and which is usually danced to a single jig.

Of course common usage dictates and I don't know if you'll find many ITM enthusiasts, myself included, that don't call them slides.
