ANDRÉ À TOTO JIG [1]. Canadian, Jig (6/8 time). Canada, Quebec. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. The tune was in the repertoire of New Brunswick fiddler André Savoie. The 'B' part is 'crooked', with measures of 9/8 mixed in with 6/8 time. 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.
