MARCHE A THOMAS POMERLEAU, LE. AKA - "Air en Re d'Henri Landry," "Beggar Thomas Pomerleau's March," "Marche du quêteux Pomerleau," "Marche a Quêteux Pomerleau." French-Canadian, March. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. A crooked tune from the playing of Henri Landry (Pontbriand, near Thetford Mines, Quebec). Thomas "Quêteux" Pomerleau (d. 1940) was a poor rural fiddler who lived in a humble dwelling in Québec. Quêteux means beggar, a name given to poor or itinerant musicians who would sometimes trade music for shelter or a meal and often relied on the charity of the community. Apparently the term could be more endearing than pejorative. Pomerleau was an influence on fiddler Landri and others who lived in his area.
