GASPÉ REEL [1] (Reel de Gaspé). AKA and see "Apex Reel." French-Canadian, Reel; New England, Polka. D Major ('A' and 'B' parts) & A Major ('C' part). Standard tuning. AB (Silberberg): AABB (Miller & Perron, Sweet, Welling): AA'BB' (Phillips): AABBCCBB (Brody): AA'BB'CA"A"'B"B"' (Begin). Named for Québec's picturesque Gaspé Peninsula, which forms the east bank of the St. Lawrence River as it spills into the Atlantic. The 'C' part is actually a strain of "Money Musk." Louis Beaudoin (Burlington, Vt.) learned the first two parts of the tune from a friend named Joe Danis, but heard the three-part version from Fortuna Vachon (Thetford Mines, Québec), and added the third ("Money Musk") part.
