'''OLD MAN AND THE OLD WOMAN [1], THE''' (Le bonhomme et la bonne femme).

French-Canadian, Air and Reel. Canada; Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island. D Major (most versions): G Major (Phillips). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AABB (Christeson) : AABB' (Messer): AA'BB' (Phillips). This is a very old song composed and recorded in 1930 by Mary Rose-Anna Bolduc, née Travers [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Bolduc] (1894–1941), known as Madame Bolduc or La Bolduc. She was from Newport in the Gaspe Peninsula, born into a large household to parents of Irish and French-Canadian heritage (she spoke both English and French). Although originally a popular song air, the melody is most often heard as a reel in modern times, although the title is sometimes confused with the similarly-named "[[Growling Old Man and Grumbling Old Woman (The)]]," a different reel in A Dorian. It received wide dissemination due to the popularity of Bolduc's 1930 recording and can be heard played by fiddlers throughout Canada. Perlman (1996) finds alternate names on Prince Edward Island in addition to the "Old Man..." title; "[[Christmas Rum (The)]]" in Queens County and "[[Bottom of the Punch Bowl (3) (The)]]" in south Kings County. | '''OLD MAN AND THE OLD WOMAN [1], THE''' (Le bonhomme et la bonne femme).

This is a very old song composed and recorded in 1930 by Mary Rose-Anna Bolduc, née Travers [1] (1894–1941), known as Madame Bolduc or La Bolduc. She was from Newport in the Gaspe Peninsula, born into a large household to parents of Irish and French-Canadian heritage (she spoke both English and French). Although originally a popular song air, the melody is most often heard as a reel in modern times, although the title is sometimes confused with the similarly-named "Growling Old Man and Grumbling Old Woman (The)," a different reel in A Dorian.
