LITTLE JUDIQUE [2]. Canadian, Jig. Canada, Cape Breton. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Traditional. The melody was originally recorded by John A. MacDonald in the key of 'C', though other Cape Breton fiddlers play it in 'A' (Dan Hughie MacEachern) and 'F' (Otis Tomas) [Cranford]. Not having a title in 1990, Jerry Holland recorded it as "Buddy at Big Pond," after his source, fiddler Buddy MacMaster.
