For #SqueezeboxSunday, my dad Louis and I are playing a real #Quebecclassic tune - "Gigue du Père Mathias". It was written by the great Québécois accordionist Adélard Thomassin and it's pretty much always fun in sessions. A three part tune that's not too hard to learn and always provides a ton of lift to the sessions. We were a bit tired from working all day and partying with my youngest who had a birthday yesterday, so it goes off the rails a bit, but that's the fun you get when you play with family!
If you don't know this tune and would like to learn it, Québécois fiddler Pascal Gemme of Genticorum was kind enough to put up a fiddle lesson of this tune (though he plays it in a different order than us):

We got this tune from my dad's informal tunebook, "La Boîte à Pitons" which is full of great accordion tunes. You can get it for free here:
