The tune, which can vary greatly from musician-to-musician, was in the respective repertoire of fiddlers Joseph Bouchard and Louis &quot;Pitou&quot; Boudreault (Chicoutimi, Québec); the latter recorded the melody in 1975 (see [[Belle Catherine (3) (La)]]. However, an earlier version of the tune was recorded in 1927 by fiddler Willie Ringuette as "[[Reel des noces]]" (Wedding Reel).
