MOTHER'S REEL. AKA and see "Reel de mon maton (Le),""Reel du régiment." Canadian, New England; Reel. C Major ('A' and 'C' parts) & G Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABCC (Miller & Perron): ABBCC (Bohrer, Messer): AA'BB'CC (Phillips). The composition has been attributed to Maritime fiddler Don Messer [1] (1909-1973). However, Messer can claim arranger credits only, as it is a version of the reel recorded in 1929 by Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard (1873-1947) who called it "Reel de mon maton (Le)", later re-released as Reel du régiment." The tune "Ladies Quadrille" is closely related.
