GIGUE DU SOUS-MARIN (Submarine Jig). AKA and see "Reel du Dentiste." French-Canadian, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. It is unknown at this time whether the title refers to the undersea environment, or the boat that submerges. However, Allard's recording was released in 1942, at the height of the German 'wolf-pack' submarine war in the North Atlantic that devastated Canadian merchant marine shipping. It is a jaunty tune, and not likely to have been named for the submarines that proved so destructive. However, the jig predates Allard's recording, having first been issued by Victor Records as "Quadrille de Berthier 1ère partie" by fiddler biography:Arthur Joseph Boulay (1883-1948).
