HORNPIPE A "TI-JOE L'AVEUGLE". AKA and see "Ned Landry's Tune." Canadian, Hornpipe (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. This hornpipe was in the repertory of fiddler Joseph-Marie Albert of Caraquet Parish, northern New Brunswick, who was known as "Ti-Joe L'aveugle" (Blind Little-Joe). Ti-Joe, along with Célestin Landry of the same parish, played for local weddings and other events. Peter Corfield[1] writes: "It is said that wedding celebrations could last one week and that 'Ti-Joe' would come back covered in dust, having played for quadrilles whilst sitting on a oak barrel cut in half." Curiously, the tune surfaced in some fiddlers' repertoires from the American Midwest. Some musicians in the region during the 1940s and '50s listened to Canadian radio stations, where they picked up fiddle tunes from the broadcasts. Other fiddlers would buy 78s and 45s of Canadian music from city vendors. The same hornpipe Joe L'avegule played was was popularized in the American Midwest by fiddlers Casey Jones and Cyril Stinnett, who apparently connected it with New Brunswick fiddler Ned Landry.
