REEL LINDBERGH. AKA - "Reel du président," "Gigue du sans-travail." French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. According to Gabriel Labbé (1977), the tune was composed in 1917 by Fortunat Malouin (1870-1935) and originally titled "Reel de la Rivière-Blanche," however, when he recorded it in New York in 1928 he renamed it to commemorate the 1926 achievement of aviator Charles Lindbergh's solo transatlantic flight. Researcher Jean Duval finds the tune in the 1933 printed collection of J.A. Boucher under the title ""Reel du président," and he notes that Isidor Soucy recorded a version under the title "Gigue du sans-travail" in 1936.
