This tune is a strange and super fun one that I'll be teaching, "L'amoureuse du village". It was written by a very strange fiddler Philippe Gagnon. He was a quirky fellow from Saguenay Lac St Jean, I think, who ended up being a big inspiration for the Québécois psych rock world. He toured with Robert Charlebois, and I think he even took the train with Dylan and reportedly fell madly in love with Janis Joplin hahah. He also played a fiddle made of steel. I've got a few great tunes from him coming up, but this one is super fun to play on the fiddle. A jaunty little number!

An excellent tune. I hope you can teach this one tomorrow. Students will love it.

Great stuff as always. I doubt he compose that, more likely, he rearrange an older tune. J.O. LaMadeleine recorded a pretty similar tune in 1937 - Paul Jones. Kind of a weird Paul Jones, with part reel and waltz, instead of, I think the more familiar, jig and waltz. Each time the parts are played, they're a bit longer with more measures.
