BEDEAU DE l'ENFER, LE. French-Canadian, Reel. C Major/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. A 'crooked' tune. Guy Bouchard relates the story that Landry's source, itinerant fiddler Thomas "Queteaux" Pomerleau, once had to promise a priest he would discard his fiddle in his wood stove, in order to receive absolution. Pomerleau did, and, having received the rite, pulled his instrument out once more having taken the precaution of never lighting the stove in the first place! Source for notated version: Henri Landry (Pontbriand, Québec, near Thetford Mines), who learned the tune around 1970 from Thomas Pomerleau [Remon & Bouchard].

Printed source: Remon & Bouchard (25 Crooked Tunes, vol. 1: Québec Fiddle Tunes), 1996; No. 13.

Recorded source: 30 Below TB 001CD, Les têtes de violon (Bouchard et al) - "Airs Tordus/Crooked Tunes" (1998).
