Pre-1939 audio only files - Les joyeuses Quebecois ("Joys of Quebec") from the 1938 RCA Victor recordings by the great French Canadian fiddler Joseph Bouchard. In the Archives of Canada website ("Virtual Gramophone") this tune is listed as composed by F. Malouin. This is a nice three part version with very sweet fiddling and fun variations. The flip side of the record was Galop de la Malbaie, known in English as Mackilmoyle's Reel. And just for good measure, here's the legendary Joseph Allard playing a 1930s version of St Anne's Reel
"Sally Gooden" great western style fiddling from a master, Junior Daugherty.
