VICTORY [1] (BREAKDOWN). Canadian, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Messer): AA'BB' (Begin). Composed by Maritime radio and TV fiddler Don Messer [1] (1909-1973). The title presumably refers to the Allied victory in World War II. Douglastown, Gaspé, Québec, fiddler Erskine Morris, apparently confused by the melodic similarity in parts with "Liverpool Hornpipe", called it by the latter title.

Don Messer
