REEL DU CHAUFFEUR. AKA and see "Ned Kendall's Hornpipe (2)." French-Canadian, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The phrases are reversed in this tune from the original New England melody "Ned Kendall's Hornpipe (2)." Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard (1873-1947), the source for this version of the tune, was born in the state of Maine and spent time in New England as a young man, where he is known to have entered fiddle contests. It may be that he picked up this tune at that time. A very similar melody is Francis O'Neill's hornpipe "Swinging around the Circle."
