REEL DE TI-JEAN. AKA and see "Liberty (1)," "Liberty Two-Step" French-Canadian, New England; Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was recorded in 1955 on 78 RPM by the Montreal-based group Bob Hill and his Canadian Country Boys, a recording that featured the Carignan Brothers (presumably Jean Carignan with twin brothers Marcel and Rodolphe). Bob Hill (1932-2015)The title "Reel de Tí-Jean" derives from Jean Carignan's nickname, 'Tí-Jean'. Although the title on the recording was "Reel de Tí-Jean" the tune was known as "Liberty (1)" in America and "Liberty Two-Step" elsewhere in Canada. It is interesting to compare the recording by Bob Hill and his band with that of (the similarly named Texas fiddler) Bob Wills and his band, from the same era (see "annotation:Liberty (1)").
The first strain of "Reel de Tí-Jean" printed by Miller & Perron (1983) is shared with "Liberty (1)/Liberty Two-Step" however, the second strain differs from those tunes, and differs from Bob Hill's recording.
