Key: D major
Type:reel
Form:AABB
Repertoire:Alfred Montmarquette

This is the kind of tune that folks will lift their beer, swaying and singing at the top of their lungs. A true joy to play. If playing for a dance, beware that both the A and B parts are twice as long as the normal dance tune.

Here is Montmarquette himself playing a slightly crooked version (in G major), but it gets you the feel of the tune with all the twiddly bits between the main notes to keep things flying along.

Here is an instructional video from Pascal, with transcription and explanation of the tune.
