JOE DRODY'S JIG. Canadian, Reel (cut time). Canada, east Gaspé Peninsula. A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). AABB. Joe Drody Sr. (1885-1965) and Joe Drody Jr. (pronounced D-row-dy) were fiddlers from Douglastown[1], historically a mixed anglo-francophone community at the eastern end of the Gaspé peninsula. The reel was in the repertory of fiddler Erskine Morris (1912-1997), also originally from Douglastown, who recorded in in 1990 on a home cassette, and learned from his mentor, Joe Drody Sr.[2]. Joe Sr's sons, Joseph and Anthony Drody, both fiddlers, called the reel "The Tune that Connie Maloney Danced On."
