Is this the same man who performed and sold his cassettes on Terrace Duffurin in Quebec in the late 1990's? If so, he was very entertaining and the experience of visiting that beautiful city would not have been the same without him. I bought 3 of his albums that day, a yellow, a blue, and a white. Some say he was just playing for spare change but he seemed to be so much more than that...
The tune, composed by Marcel Messervier, accordeonist and accordeon fabricant of Montmagny, Quebec is dedicated to Edmond Pariseau (according to the Canadian Nat. Lib, b. 1923).
This selection, part 4 of Messervier's composition, is nominally in the key of A although it contains no G#. The first 3 sections are in D, the "home key" of many Quebec accordeons.
"The Portland Collection" tunebook spells the title "Hommage a Edmond Parizeau" which is incorrect.
