REEL DU PONT (Bridge Reel). AKA and see "Jenny Lind (1)," "Reel Lafrenière." French-Canadian, Reel or Polka (2/4 or cut time). G Major (Allard): A Major (Carlin). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. A version of the mid-19th century dance hit, "Jenny Lind (1)," recorded in November, 1933 (released in 1934) for Victor Records by Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard (1873-1947) backed on guitar by Frank Laforge.

The title may honor the Du Pont of Quebec, a mixed railway and road bridge crossing the St. Lawrence River west of Quebec City (north shore) to Lévis (Saint-Nicolas) on the south shore. It was begun in 1903 and is a riveted steel structure with the longest free range in the world.

Allard recorded the same tune a few years later as "Reel Lafrenière."
