GENS DE LA BASTILLE, LES (The People of the Bastille). AKA - "Spandy (Le)." French-Canadian, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'CC'DD'. Quebec accordion player Phillipe Bruneau states the tune was made popular by accordion player Rene Alain (who recorded the tune in the 1960's) and by the Soucy Family. Due to its four-part structure it is played for dances like "La Belle Catherine" and "Spendy" in Quebec (the tune is sometimes called "Spandy" as a result).
