MIRAMICHI FIRE, THE. AKA - "Willie D's Favorite." Canadian, Reel. Canada; Prince Edward Island, Martimes. A Mixolydian/Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Perlman (1996) notes this tune is among the "good old tunes" on Prince Edward Island, and that the title commemorates a major conflagration in the forests of the Miramichi River Valley in 1825. The fire was so intense that it was visible from western Prince Edward Island.

Source for notated version: Andrew Jones (b. 1918, Roseville, West Prince County, Prince Edward Island; now resides in Pleasant View, PEI) [Perlman].
