Re: Les Frères Pigeon

As the title suggests, the tune is from the Pigeon Brother’s repertoire. Not sure whether they composed it or not. This likely refers to Marcel Pigeon and Phylias Pigeon, twin brothers, and grandsons of Quebec accordionist Arthur Pigeon. Which would also explain the resemblance to Reel Eugene, as Arthur was known to play this one. See here: http://www.lafamilleleger.com/dr-squeeze-blog/2014/4/5/joseph-arthur-pigeon-1884-1966

Les Frères Pigeon, X:2

Variations pulled from the Brock McGuire Band, Tidal Wave, and a few more on top of that.

Les Frères Pigeon, X:1 & X:2

Adjusted X1 to be from The Brock McGuire Band, and, X2 from Tidal Wave.

X3 & X4 are some variations onto these settings.
