Strumelia: Scurvy? You've got actual lime/lemon/orange trees in your backyard, right?  No excuses!
 

True dat.  And a red grapefruit tree I planted last spring.

They used to play it in oldtime fiddle sessions I've been to years ago.  Not common, but not rare either as i recall.

Ha!  Not sure about the sailors, @Strumelia.  Maybe I had scurvy when I recorded it. happys

I learned this tune from some sheet music I found on a fiddle site online.  I still have never heard anyone else play it.

Sweet, Dusty.  For some reason this makes me think of sailors on a ship in the 1800s... not sure why!

Salut, Monica.  Thanks for your comments on this tune. I found sheet music for the basic melody in an online search for fiddle tunes, so I've never actually heard it played. Hopefully my version is close to what it's supposed to sound like.

 

Yes, I bought the first Daniel Lanois CD, Acadie.  I love the mixture of French and English, and some of the tunes have a definite Cajun sound, especially "Jolie Louise" with that wonderful accordeon.  The range of instruments he uses is also phenomenal. I guess this was his first album, but even there you can hear the record producer that he would become.  Thanks so much for pointing me to him!

 

I hope you're doing super bien!
