"Grey Owl" is a Canadian reel in 2/4 time and D Major. The parts are played AABB.<br> It comes from the Métis people of Manitoba, Canada. They are the descendants of<br> the French, English, Scottish and Irish fur trappers and their native wives in the<br> 17th century. In Canada, the Métis are one of three major groups of Indigenous<br> peoples that were legally recognized in the Constitution Act of 1982, the other<br> two groups being the First Nations and Inuit. The Métis live mainly in the prairie<br> provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.<br> As Europeans brought violins to North America, the Métis embraced the instrument<br> and began playing and making their own tunes, often mixing native, Scots and<br> French-Canadian rhythms and styles, but with unique beats. <br> The A part is crooked with a measure in 3/4 time inserted after measure 3.<br> It was printed in Flatpicking Guitar Magazine (January 2018).<br> It was recorded by John Arcand on Traditionally Yours (2001),<br> Molsky's Mountain Ramblers on Molsky's Mountain Ramblers (2016).<br>
