The 'B' part is 'crooked'. 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 ot Toto, son of...an Acadian from New Brunswick.
