SET AMÉRICAIN. French-Canadian, Jig (6/8 time). D Major ('A' and 'C' parts), A Major ('B' part) and B Minor ('D' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BBCC'DD'. A four-part jig, or a suite in 6/8, from accordion player Robert Lemieux, recorded in Montreal for the Starr label in 1936. He is ably accompanied on the recording by Eddy Savage on guitar. Unfortunately, I have found no information on Lemieux. There is a Robert Lemieux who played violin and recorded a number of sides for Bluebird Records around the same time (latter 1930's) with playing partner Hector Charbonneau on the accordion, but whether it is the same individual who played accordion for Starr's Set américain is not known.
