REEL DU CASSÉ-TÊTE (Crazy Reel). AKA - "Reel du vanneur." French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Allard researcher Jean Duval identifies "Reel du cassé-tête" as a version of the Irish reel "Old Pidgeon on the Gate"[1]. He also points out the sharped 4th ('e') in the first strain gives the piece a brief Lydian mode character[2]. Allard recorded the tune twice: first, in March, 1931 as "Reel du vanneur" for Victor, and again in 1933 for Victor's subsidiary label, Bluebird Records, under his pseudonym 'Maxime Toupin'. The title on the Bluebird release was "Reel du cassé-tête."
