HARVEY, THE. Canadian, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Harvey, New Brunswick, was the home village of Canadian radio and TV fiddler Don Messer (1909-1973), born in Tweedside New Brunswick, just outside of Harvey Station. He became a national name in 1939, when Don Messer and His Islanders broadcast three times a week from Charlottetown on CBC Radio. Parts of this tune are equivalent to several Pennsylvania collected untitled quadrilles that appear grouped together in Bayard (1981, Nos. 527-530, pp. 472-474), and the first part of "Rolling Off a Log" (Cole/Ryan's Mammoth).
