I'm looking for the correct title/spelling of this possibly French Canadian fiddle tune, and any info. JC's Tune Finder doesn't seem to have it.

Cheers,
Michael

I've got it! Over here... http://members.shaw.ca/tunebook/gobeil.htm

It's titled Ronfleuse Gobeil.

Thanks, Barry! Does "ronfleuse" mean "snoring"?

Hey -- I'll use the translation feature and find out!... Babelfish translates the thread title as "Mme de Ronflement Gobel" but it claims that "ronfleuse" means "ronfleuse" in English. Hmmm...

Cheers,
Michael

So far as I know, it means "the (lady) snorer".
