Slippery Dip, The

Slide · 12/8 · D major

The Slippery Dip is a traditional Irish slide in the key of D major with a lively 12/8 meter. Because its specific composer and early history remain undocumented, its background is traditionally defined by oral transmission rather than a known historical association. The tune is characterized by its bouncy, fluid rhythm and rapid phrasing, making it well-suited for traditional step dancing.
