ST. ADELE'S REEL. AKA - "Ste Adele Reel," "St. Adelle's Reel." Canadian, Reel (whole time). G Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Ste Adele Reel" was in the repertoires of Manitoba Métis fiddler Andy DeJarlis as well as Down-east fiddler Don Messer, and the tune is attributed to DeJarlis on Messer's 1967 recording.
