REEL DES OUVRIERS (The Laborer’s Reel). AKA and see “Carpenter's Reel,” "Laborer's Reel (The)," "Reel de l'ouvrier," "Reel de Saint-Malo," “Traveler (1) (The)],” “Walker Street.” French-Canadian, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The tune appears in Francis O’Neill’s Music of Ireland (1903) as “The Traveler.” Comparing the titles, Kate Dunlay suggests that the "Traveler" title may stem from the French travailler, meaning 'to work' or 'labor'.
