X:1 T:Eva's Tune T:Eva Drody's Tune N:Eva Drody, via the playing of fiddler Glenn Patterson. Laura Risk learned N:the tune in the key of 'G' from Ernest Drody in 2010, according to Glenn. N:Douglastown fiddler Erskine Morris played the tune in 'D', in ADae tuning. N:Eva Drody would always step-dance to the tune, played by members of the Drody N:family, and the original name (now lost) became supplanted by "Eva's Tune".

EVA'S TUNE. AKA - "Eva Drody's Tune." Canadian, Reel (cut time). G Major (Ernest Drody): D Major (Erskine Morris). Standard or ADae tuning (fiddle). ABB'. A tune played by the Drody and DeVogue family and others in the Douglastown, Gaspé, area, with versions in 'G' and 'D' (in ADae tuning). Blogger Glenn Patterson[1] explains that the tune was learned by fiddler Laura Risk from Ernest Drody, and that it at one time had a title. However, it was young Eva Drody's favorite tune to step-dance to, and the original title was supplanted by the family's fiddlers who came to call it "Eva's Tune."
