REEL [194].   Canadian, Reel (mixed meter).  Canada, Manitoba.  A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). AABBB.  This untitled tune was in the repertory of Metis fiddler Grandy Fagnan (c. 1902-1986) of Camperville, Manitoba, who recorded it for researcher Anne Lederman in the mid-1980's. In many Metis communities tunes played on the fiddle when it was tuned in scordatura (i.e. AEAc# or AEae) were associated with the Devil.
