SON OF A BEAR. French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. In the repertoire of fiddler Louis Beaudoin (1921-1980, Burlington, Vt.). The tune gets its title from the spontaneous exclamation of Louis’s father, upon having been shown by Louis how to shift position on the violin fingerboard to play the high strain.
