Coleman's Cross

Recorded by Michael Coleman as the last of three jigs on a 78 side that started with "The Wandering Minstrel" and "Faste the Leg in Her." No title on the disc.

Slide?

This feels more like a slide to me. Is it just me or does anyone else think so too?

Slide

Definitely more like a slide, but it's obviously listed as a jig in most versions floating around the net

For me it has more of a jig feel, especially in the B-part.
