UNCLE JIM [2]. AKA and see "Bonnie Dundee (2)," "Bonnets of Bonnie Dundee (The)." French-Canadian, Jig (6/8 time). Canada, Gaspé Peninsula (Québec). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Uncle Jim (2)" is from the repertory of harmonica played Stella Plourde of Carleton-sur-mer in the Gaspé Peninsula. She was recorded in the field by Mario Forest in the middle of the first decade of the 21st century as part of the “Témoignages vivants” project. The instrumental repertoire traced during his meetings with local musicians is strongly influenced by the 'Down East' style popularized by the radio show "Don Messer and his Islanders" (1944) and later by the television show "The Don Messer Jubilee" (1959). However, the tune is English and Scottish, long known in traditional repertory as "Bonnie Dundee (2)".
