Source (if known): Spade Cooley? or Avila Le Blanc?*

Other Tunes in Set:

Region: USA, and later, Quebec

*Notes: From a post on thesession.org: “This tune was composed by the American fiddler Spade Cooley under the title Blue Jeans and Gingham. [It] belongs rather to French-Canadian music.” But the original is likely Quebecois.  The D version sheet music attributes it to “Avila Le Blanc?”

Here’s a YouTube of what seems likely to be Cooley’s original recording of “Blue Jeans and Gingham”.
