Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: Canada - Quebec

This tune from Quebec was originally called Reel Du Petit Cordonnier (Cobbler's Reel) but later became known as Tout d'Un Coup Tu Maries Ma Fille. There are lyrics matching the tune's title that translate to "All of a sudden you marry my daughter / All of a sudden you don't / All of a sudden you go to Egypt / All of a sudden you remain in Canada." This may refer to a postponed wedding plan at the time of the 1956 Suez Canal Crisis, where Canadians were included in the peace-keeping forces.

Tune Information

Author: Stephan Deibel

Origin: USA - Cambridge NY

This tune was written by Cambridge NY fiddler Stephan Deibel, around 2010 on a wilderness island in Blue Mountain Lake, NY. "While I was writing the tune, a boating party in a beautiful old wooden boat happened by. Suddenly, their outboard motor stopped and they were unable to restart it. There was a moment of tension as they drifted towards some sharp rocks, but they were saved just in time by another passing boater, and towed safely home. The first part of this tune seems to imitate the attempts to restart the motor, and the second part their joy at being saved, although this was not by conscious design."
