BADDECK GATHERING, THE. Canadian, Jig. Canada, Cape Breton. D Major/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Little): ABB' (Cranford): AA'BB' (Shears). Composed by Pipe Major A. 'Piper Alex' MacDonald (b. 1893, Cape Breton), who moved to the Windsor, Ontario/Detroit, Michigan area. Baddeck is a town in Cape Breton on the shore of the great Bras d'Or, and the tune was composed in commemoration of a regatta held there in 1932 (Shears). Cape Breton fiddler Johnny Wilmot (1916-1993) recorded the tune in the early 1950's.

Sources for notated versions: Cape Breton style fiddler Harvey Tolman (Nelson, N.H.) [Little]; fiddler Brenda Stubbert (b. 1959, Point Aconi, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia) [Cranford].
