GIGUE DU SANS-TRAVAIL (Unemployment Jig). AKA and see "Reel du président," "Reel Lindbergh." French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. "Gigue du sans-travail" is Isidore Soucy's cover of "Reel Lindbergh," recorded in 1928 by fiddler Fortunat Malouin (1870-1935) who composed it in 1917 originally as "Reel de la Rivière-Blanche," changing the name for the recording to commemorate Charles Lindbergh's 1926 solo transatlantic flight. Jean Duval notes that Malouin and Soucy both went to New York to record at the Columbia studio in 1927, but not at the same time. J.A. Boucher has the tune as "Reel du président" in his 1933 collection.
