Back to Margaree Fancy
MARGAREE FANCY. Canadian, Jig. Canada, Cape Breton. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The melody requires playing in position in the key of 'C', thus some play it in G major. The jig was recorded on 78 RPM (as "Margaree's Fancy") by Alex Gillis and His Inverness Serenaders, in Boston in November, 1934. Paul Stewart Cranford (2000) remarks that it was a popular tune with other Margaree, Cape Breton, fiddlers such as Angus Chisholm, Angus Allan Gillis and John Alex MacLellan.
