ANDRÉ À TOTO REEL [1]. AKA - "Reel à Belzébuth (Le)." Canadian, Reel. Canada, New Brunswick. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'.

Guy Bouchard explains that large families were not unusual in Québec until fairly recently and because of this naming needed to become more specific. To identify a person often the first name was used along with the father and even grandfather's name. Thus, this tune was from André, son of Toto, son of...an Acadian from New Brunswick.
