La Rev du Queteux Tremblay


This tune comes to me via my friend Jeff , who was taught it at the Irish Fiddle camp in Friday Harbor, by an Irish concertina player. But isn't this a French Canadian tune? ha ha, yes it is.... very pretty tune.... It's in reverse order from the normal way it's usually notated. (A and B parts are switched) And in G instead of the key of F .
Per the Fiddler's Companion ; "The source, William Tremblay, was known as the ‘queteux Tremblay’, and was an itinerant fiddler and character who would wander from village to village throughout Québec Province, trading his music for room and board."
Oh! and yes, my French spelling is definately bad.. ha ha....
