JACK DELAD. French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The 'B' part is twice the length (16 measures) than the first. "Jack de Lad" is a Quebecois variant of the "Four Hand Reel (1)/Five Mile Chase (1)" tune family, which also includes the Quebec "Reel de Tadoussac (2)." The title, "Jack('s) the Lad" in English, is unrelated to the tune that usually is known by that name.
