REEL DE BERLUCHON. AKA - "6/8 reelé par Isidore." "Gigue du berluchon." French-Canadian, Reel (cut or 2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Soucy researcher Jean Duval finds that this tune is Soucy's reworking of an old Scottish and Irish melody in 6/8, known as "King's Jig (2)" (in four parts), "Mrs. Spens Monroe," and other titles. Joseph Allard recorded a 6/8 version of the tune in 1931, notes Duval, under the title "Reel du commerce," and Soucy himself re-recorded the tune (in a slightly altered version) for Starr Records as "Reel à Francis." Olivier Demers also prints a 6/8 version, credited to Isidore Soucy,
