“Grey Owl” is an old-time fiddle tune from the Canadian prairies written by Métis fiddler John Arcand, and Bruce Molsky teaches the tune this month in his Old-Time Fiddle course. It’s in the key of D and has some interesting bowing as well as an extra half measure in the A part.

1311 - Alexis Jig I'm honoured to be joined by Master of the Métis Fiddle John Arcand playing a tune that he wrote for his Great grandfather, on fiddles that he made in a room full of fiddles that he made. We spent a wonderful afternoon with John in Saskatoon, playing fiddles and hearing great stories. Thanks to Michele Amy for organising the visit and jumping in on the piano for the tune.
