REEL DE LA PISTROLI, LE. Canadian, Reel. Canada, Newfoundland. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by Newfoundland fisherman and fiddler biography:Émile Benoît [1] (1913-1992). It is often repeated that "La Pistroli" was the name of a television show from New Brunswick, and there was a show called "Pistroli" that aired in the late 1970's on a Moncton station. However, Benoît was Newfoundland's representative with a touring Acadian entourage "Le Pistroli en Atlantique," of which he quickly became the star.
