REEL DU GOGLU (Goblin's Reel). AKA and see “Captain Corbett's Hornpipe,” “Captain John's Hornpipe.” French-Canadian, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The reel was recorded by Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard (1865-1947) in 1930 for Victor records, and again in 1936, albeit under the pseudonym 'Maxime Toupin'. The goglu is a bird that can be seen on the spot above the fields - the only bird in Quebec that is pale on the top and dark below ... it's also a small dry biscuit famous among us.
