I, too, like Nights In White Satin...which can easily morph into Summertime...and on into "This Land Is Mine"...and yeah verily on into any number of Irish Aires...trailing off into dreamy minor meadows known especially well to Low Whistle travelers. Such a journey feels like "one tune," to me.
Aside. Playing this sort of continuum can be very seductive if one has an Overton Low Whistle as consort. Hu yahhh...

Ah, the old tune/songs debate! FWIW, I just wrote a letter to the Audobon society DEMANDING they change the classification of songbirds to tunebirds.

I can't state one tune in particular....but my favorite series/set is St. Anne's Reel into the Cincinnatti Hornpipe into Devil's Dream and a 4th tune that I can't remember the name of currently.
for a jig set I like to play O'keefe's Slide into the Lilting Banshee into Jefferson and Liberty into New Tatter Jack into When Johnny Comes Marching Home and slow it down and finish with Shule Aroon(sorry for the spelling)
