La cotillon de la Baie-Ste-Catherine

A great crooked tune that doesn’t have to blister along.

Pascal Gemme’s version with transcription and instructional video from Trad Québec Studio.

I first learned this from the Danse ce soir book. Laurie Hart’s version on the accompanying CD can be found on YouTube starting at 1min 26sec.

Lisa Ornstein (fiddle) and André Marchand (guitar) play a version on this Facebook video (may require facebook login to access).

A number of transcriptions are available from the Tune Archive, from the simple to the complex.

This transcription (ABC form) refers to the following performance by Raz-de-Marée (Éric Favreau on fiddle, Sabin Jacques on accordion and Rachel Aucoin on piano) at Maine Fiddle Camp in the summer of 2016. The tune begins at 3min 48sec, but the whole video is worth watching.
