CANADIAN SET I, 1st CHANGE. AKA and see "Reel du secours direct." The jig was recorded by fiddler biography:Arthur Joseph Boulay (1883-1948) in 1922, playing solo fiddle while a dance caller called the figures (Victor Records did not release the side until March, 1923, however). It was the dawn of the 78 RPM era, and Boulay would record for another eight years. Montreal fiddler biography:Joseph Allard recorded the tune nearly ten years after Boulay, under the title "Reel du secours direct," referring to the Depression Era dole. Boulay made another set of recordings two years later, in 1924, of different tunes with dance calls, also issued as "Canadian Set" (see "Canadian Set II").
