|f_annotation='''SALUT DE L'HÔTEL VERRET.''' AKA - "Hotel Verret." French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). E Minor ('A' Part) & G Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Salut de L'hôtel Verret" is from the Verret family of Lac-Saint-Charles, Quebec, four generations of remarkable musicians. The source for the tune is perhaps 'Pit Jornoch', a nickname for a fiddler and woodcutter named Pierre Verret (no relation), a friend from the next Parish of accordion player Jean-Baptiste Verret (1894-1955), the scion of the musical family.  Jean-Marie Verret, who recorded an album of Pit Jornoch's tunes, is Jean-Baptiste's grandson.  He recalled: 
<blockquote>
''My father'' [fiddler Jules Verret] ''always considered him to be the greatest fiddler he had ever heard in'' 
''his life. I was told that Pierre Verret learned his repertoire and style from'' 
''Charlot Parent from Charlesbourg, which is a few kilometers southeast'' [of Lac St-Charles], 
''and at the time just a village.'' <ref>Guy Bouchard, “Quebec Fiddler Extraordinaire Jean-Marie Verret”, Fiddler Magazine’s Favorites, p. 102 [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Fiddler_Magazine_s_Favorites/pRoxDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22pit+jornoch%22+%22pierre+verret%22&pg=PA102&printsec=frontcover]. </ref>
