GUEST,Neill Conroy - The Geekausaurus Origins: Age of Saint Anne's Reel (13) RE: Origins: Age of Saint Anne's Reel 02 Feb 20


From what I know of the tune St. Anne's Reel was first recorded by Joseph Allard in 1929 in Montreal. It is supposed to be named for the Bay of St. Anne in New Brunswick. Here in Canada it is heard a lot on PEI, and has been manipulated to hell and gone there. I first heard it in West Prince County in 1970, But The Islanders with Don Messer probably had played on CBC when I was a young'un and paid it no attention.
