REEL BOULE DE NEIGE (Snowballs). AKA and see "Bachelor's Reel, "Snowball Reel." French-Canadian, Reel or Polka (2/4 time). G Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Carlin): AA'BB' (Cuillerier). From the repertoire of Québec fiddler Joseph Allard (1873-1947), who recorded it in 1932. Allard, who worked for much of his life as a fisherman, lived for a time in the United States, where he toured the northeast and was influenced by Irish and Scottish-style fiddlers. He returned to Canada in 1917 and settled near Montréal, later recording for the Bluebird label. The parts of the tune (which can be considered either a reel or polka) are sometimes reversed.
