Hello Shiela
La Grande Chaine, also in the first vol of The Portland Collection
where Clyde Curley describes it as a French Canadian Reel learnt by Sue
Songer and Lanny Martin from "Footloose", a band from North Carolina.

La Grande Chaine seems to be a very popular tune on both east and west
sides of the Atlantic, so I was most surprised, when looking through
"The Fiddler's Fake Book" , published in 1983, which lists almost 500
of the most played tunes, not to find it there. Does anyone have any
idea when it became popular? Richard, living in Quebec, maybe you can
throw some light on this? I had always assumed that it was an old,
very traditionally French Canadian.
