RAGS, THE (Les Guenilles). AKA – "Guenille (La)," "Guénille (La)," "Reel de la guénille." French-Canadian, Reel and Air. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCCC (Phillips): AA'BB'CC' (Reiner & Anick). A common French-Canadian reel, according to David Green in the liner notes to “Louis Beaudoin” (Philo Records, 1973). The title refers to a piece of cloth, not 'ragtime' rhythm. The tune was popularized through the performances of accordion player wikipedia:Alfred Montmarquette (1871–1944) and singer Mary Travers (La Bolduc), who set words to it. It was also recorded by fiddlers wikipedia:Joseph_Allard_(fiddle) and Isidore Soucy [1] and by numerous accordion players. Paul Fackler points out that Leo Beaudoin played a 3-part version of the tune, with a third part that is not included in Montparquette's or Soucy's version.
