The tune was recorded under the "Snow Shoer's Reel" title by Canadian radio and TV fiddler Don Messer (1909-1973).  Lisa Ornstein finds this tune a variant of O’Neill’s “[[Blue Garters (The)]],” perhaps via Quebec fiddler Joseph Allard (1873-1947), who recorded it as “[[Tuque Bleue (La)]]” in 1930.
