@Phil Lots of tunes work as with a polka or a slide (a single or a double if you are in Newfoundland). Never tried swapping to schottische, bourrée, or rondeau, though!
In that spirit, here’s Emile Benoit playing his composition Jim Hodder's (crooked) reel with Figgy Duff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C8hMsx_8o0 (Also Rufus Guinchard!)
And here's Graham Wells playing it as a jig: https://www.facebook.com/graham.wells.716/posts/pfbid02GwkVMUA5f5zijNUvxYJcEF17iXKZyr9BwXuJkF8T3AJiMPPuT2maC8BfwBMaq9fLl
