The tune was popularized as "Whalen's Breakdown" by the great Canadian radio and TV fiddler Don Messer, originally from New Brunswick, Canada. The composition is often attributed to Messer, although curiously it does not appear in his '''Anthology of Favorite Fiddle Tunes''' (1980). It has been suggested that the reel was a composition of one of the fiddling Whalen Sisters from Amherst, Nova Scotia. Québec fiddler Isidore Soucy recorded the tune in 1955 as "[[Reel des lutteurs (Le)]]" (The Wrestlers' Reel). A 6/8 jig time variant of this reel is called “[[Bride of the Winds]].” | |f_annotation='''WHALEN'S BREAKDOWN.''' AKA and see "[[Reel des lutteurs (Le)]]," "Whelan's Breakdown." Canadian, Reel.
