Reel de la Grenouille - Frog’s Reel

I know, it’s a 3-part reel/hornpipe/polka (delete as appropriate) but it’s been recorded as a “reel”:

It’s a fun tune, very melodic and it has lots of notes!

Two part version by J. O. LaMadeleine called Loup Garou:

I am not sure what key he is playing this in. I think he may have tuned his fiddle higher but the fingering makes a lot more sense in G major than what appears to be E major.
